For about 25 years my tube gear was all McIntosh -- MC225, C11 and MR65B. It was becoming a maintenance problem. Then Mac informed us tube gear owners that there were not able to resupply certain preferred components, and could no longer guarantee that they could repair to original specs.
I had bought some solid state stuff to back up the Macs in their anticipated trips to Binghamton and liked it enough that I decided to declare a personal end of the tube era. I don't miss banging on preamp tubes with pencil erasers, but still have fond thoughts of that MC225.
