Joe Auwen Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Hi, my name is Joe and I'm a MacAholic My girlfriend has been trying to find some therapy for me since I started collecting vintage McIntosh amps in January: 2 MC-240 2 MC-225 1 MC-40 (with two more coming) 23 MC-30 (not including the two I gave up for adoption) When she says I need help, I say yes I do.. please help me move these amps over a bit to make room for this one that just came in.. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Songer Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 You have TWENTY-THREE MC30 amps. WHY? I used to have SIX of them and I thought THAT was a boat-load!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Songer Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 TWENTY THREE SINCE JANUARY? I might understand 23 picked up over a 10 or 15 year period, but TWENTY THREE in the last five months? It blows my mind. Now, if this is a BUSINESS I understand, but as a COLLECTION it just boggles . . . I don't have 20 copies of any LP--the most at any time I have is 4 or 5. But I'll bet I HAVE owned at least 50 copies of quite a number of different titles over the years, just not all at once! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be insane, but very cool! Maybe now it is also time to start looking for the best MC tuner, the MR78? (Why is it better than the MR80 BTW?)

I think I like that logic.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Songer Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 If you're going to get a classic McIntsoh tuner, get the MR-71. Maybe it's not as "good" as the later tuners, but it's all tube, works great and looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never really thought it would go this far, just wanted to get a tube amp that I could work-on that would sound good with my Khorns. As I fix them up, I'll most likely start selling them to fund my obssession! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
