Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

RE: I didn't see the video on the Science Channel but I did find this.

That's interesting. Back in the 70's I sold Mac at a retailer and bought a C-26 preamp from the factory. Loved it. Then a few years later a friend brought over a beat up PAS-3x. The difference was breathtaking... and not in the McIntosh's favor. Of course the C-26 was early solid-state Mac, which was all pretty much... awful. Dull, veiled, lifeless... and beautifully made. (I know of an MC250 used as a cue amp in a studio that was just taken out of service, still working just fine thank you, after over 40 years of almost 24/7 service.) And thankfully they did get their solid-state act together. I haven't heard any of their new stuff, but the 4100 receiver was really good.
