McIntosh Clinic is back in SoCal
That’s really cool. I remember a local dealer used to do these and it was fascinating to watch (to me anyways). If anyone is participating, please post some pics and your thoughts.

Yep, grab your 601s and 1.2KWs, one under each armpit and head on over to the clinic!

I remember taking my C28 and MC250 to the Mac clinic back in the early 80s.
Glad they’re doing it again.

I think it's interesting that McIntosh is resurrecting its clinics. As I recall, the company originally would test any amplifier at its clinics - not just Macs. It sounds like that isn't the case now.

Back then nothing could touch their specs. They weren't worried.

Wonder if gearing up for this is a contributor to their service back-up at the plant in Binghamton? They might be better served keeping those techs/engineers at the plant working on the service backlog.

My snarky thought for the day - Not unless they have been ‘gearing up’ since November of 2016...
