Hello all, I'm the proud new owner of a MA252 hybrid integrated and it sound magnificent. This is my first new McIntosh and I just had a quick question for the experts out there. Of course seeing how expensive as this amp was, I was concerned to see several random scratches and marks on...

Hello everyone, I've been looking for a light to put over my turntable to get a look at the vinyl when I'm brushing the dust off. Rather than mount a light on the wall I used an old usb phone charger with a usb led light plugged into the switched power outlet on my McIntosh. Here are a few...
