That is not normal. I would have that looked at asap.

Call, don't write... Chuck Hinton may have a firmware update that fixes your very problem! I had a bizarre problem with my MR-88 tuner (I described it in a post here: https://www.audioaficionado.org/showthread.php?t=42860 . There was no advertisement of any firmware upgrades and no knowledge of any firmware upgrades at any dealers. However, a simple call to Chuck revealed that there was indeed a "silent" firmware upgrade which fixed my problem completely.

There may be one for your problems as well.... Call Chuck...

I had a power issue when I owned my c2500. What happened in my case was that one day it shut off. Then, it would happen again, once in a blue moon. Over time, the problem got worse, and it started randomly shutting off more frequently.

Then, once it shut off, it developed an issue where when you turned it back on, it would only come on for a second or so, then shut off again. Eventually, it wouldn't turn on at all.

Ultimately, I sent it to McIntosh for repair. They diagnosed it as a faulty solder point on one of the boards, sent it back good as new, and it worked perfectly until the day I sold it when I upgraded to the c1100.

There was a happy ending to this problem. Please read the last thread I wrote under the header "Preamp did it again"
