I spoke with a former McIntosh owner about this thread, via email, and he said Audio Classics bolted his Mac to plywood too, when it was shipped to him.

I agree with you that an owner has to take extreme measures when shipping fragile items. I've seen pictures of McIntosh units, knobs removed, with plywood covering the glass, with appropriate holes drilled to accommodate shafts.

It's one of the things you just can't be too careful with. It's nice to hope your package is going to be treated with ultimate care. But when you imagine a distribution center with tens of thousands of packages moving through it each day, something's occasionally going to fall of a convertor belt or be dropped by someone.
