I am an expert on 12AU7's. The tube is not a top performer. As for vintage equipment & factory build, I am very good at upgrading the factory performance with a few exceptions. I would not modify McIntosh, but would repair it as close to as possible to factory design & appearance. In fairness regarding the original components, high-end did not have availibility of some, repeat some of the high quality parts available today.
And you Dave? You mentioned Scott, Eico, Fisher, etc. Please explain the design attributes and deficiencies you have apparently noted including the various tubes used in the designs. Comments on the factory audio iron would be interesting as well.
