    Mcintosh MA6100 Service Manual Needed

    Hello, I am looking for a MA6100 service manual. The version I have is last of production (1975-1979 and has the resistor instead of the zener diode on the phase inverter board. There is no serial on this unit and all the service manuals I can find online are a different version. Thanks

    ajward549 goes the extra mile

    MC2100, MC225, MC240 advice needed

    I became obsessed with higher fidelity sound through Jazz - and I remember hearing for the first time the muted trumpet of Miles Davis on vinyl and being emotionally floored. It was on a really bad system, but that didn't matter - the music went beyond the sound quality and that was my gateway...

    Looking for preamp for MC2505

    About to buy restored C28 to match up with a MC2505, but now considering the C504. Different vintage, but I like the simplicity and the smaller size would be easier to work into my system. Any suggestions on best preamp to go with the MC2505? Thanks, wikksmith

    Mcintosh DA1 module

    I notice the only mcintosh products with the DA1 module are integrated amps that came out approximately 2017... are there any rumors/plans for these to be put into future preamplifiers? The current preamps I'm looking at came out in 2015, so I'm wondering what the future might hold! Thanks!
