Hello Fellow McFanatics!
An issue with our new MC2102, which is not quite 5 months old, has us confused, and I wonder if anyone has suggestions.
A couple of months after we bought the amp, the right VU meter began to act strangely. For the bulk of the time, the meter would alternate between dead and acting normal. Then all the sudden, about two weeks ago, the VU meter started acting normal all the time -- we haven't noticed it go dead at all.
What could this be? Should we let McIntosh service come pick the unit up?
The only thing that I can recall in the past couple of weeks that might have affected the MC2102 is that we temporarily switched out the stock 12AT7 and 12AX7 with vintage Mullards. (We went back to the stock tubes almost immediately, ironically, as we prefer the sound with the stock tubes!)
Thoughts?
(Ron, HELP!)
:scratch2:
