RE: REVIEW: McIntosh MA6600 Integrated Amplifier (SS)

If it's not status why would anybody pay the price ;?)Nobody buys Harley Davidson based on performance but for the look and splendor.Nothing wrong with that .The fact that regular people do not pay attention to it ,is down to the fact that audio stuff is of marginal importance to normal people. I'm not against Mac ,and do not subscribe to bashing. In absolute terms those are not bad amps and I expressed my view earlier. Phono stage in Ma6500 is bad sounding. I would even say that most Nad amps have better ones but it is only a convenient add on feature for starters most people couldn't care less for phono but I do ( one would wish little better for the price) I serviced my friend's MA6500. There is nothing extraordinary regarding it's built quality. Rather cheap parts throughout, open frame potentiometers in preamp section and cheap opamps. It is what it is , parts are not everything and the amp sounded very decent. Rgrds, W
