Dang- I still use old Marshall tube amps for my guitar playing : )

The best word you used to describe it is 'tin'

ajtj...

McIntosh equipment was (and is) great audio gear. I still have a pair of Mac 20's that I break out every now and then just to watch the tubes glow while I listen to the music. Not as good a sound stage as my current amp (also tube, but not as visible) nor as well defined, but there is a warm quality to the Mac's that is like sitting by a fireplace on a cold winter night.

ajtj, your post reminded me that I still have an old Norelco 400
reel to reel tape recorder that needs repair. Because of
some special tapes that I value (not music) I'd like to have
it repaired - best recall is that it exhibited microphonics
which were not solved by installing new tubes. Can you
suggest any way to get it repaired? In its day (50's - 60's),
I think it was a pretty good quality machine.
TIA
