Yeah there are, but the negatives for me anyway far out weigh any positives they "may" have, very much like using another brand of auto transformer on a decent solid state amp. Just band-aid fixes so they can drive lower impedance's.

Can you point us to where you read that, with a link?

Hello all,

If you can find evidence showing that Mac has a patent on their autoformers,I would like to see it as well.

I think they tried to but never succeeded.

I haven't owned any Mac gear in about 25yrs and I certainly don't miss it one bit even the tube amps I had.

We have a fair size audio club in my area and every once a while I get to hear a Mac product of some kind always reminds me of the sound I don't care for.

Properly pairing components together with Impedance matching in mind would never need autoformers,but I do know some folks that just love their Mac gear and wouldn't have anything else.

Kenny.

my mistake on the autoformers. sorry!
