I walked into our local McIntosh dealer on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in the early fall of 1971 looking to hear some new equipment and maybe spend some money.
I wound up with a 2105/C28 combo. The glossy black faceplate, big meters, and fancy blue illuminated lettering were what sold me. What a big effin' mistake! I could have had a 275/C22.
I was too impressionable, young, and naive. I'd like to think that I've learned a lot since that BIG mistake. This was the second time that I went for SS over the tried & true valves. The first time was when I heeded Julian Hirsch's advice and sold my Fisher 500 to get one of those accursed AR amps. OMG, the story that it was supposed to smooth out and sweeten up after a long break in turned out to be absolute BS. My fault, I really should have known better.
If a listener REALLY preferred SS there are many better choices than Mac SS. That First Watt amp is a killer, for example.
Cheers,
SB
