McIntosh mc275


Received new MC275 yesterday. Units On/Off switch doesn't work. Amp only shuts off when you unplug it. And no, I don't have any triggers attached to it. Most disconcerting considering I waited three weeks for it. I've read Mcintosh has lowered the bar the last couple of years, but this is aggravating. Would not recommend this amp! Does anyone have any suggestions for another brand?

If the amp is indeed defective from the factory, make sure you call McIntosh. Even if you do not keep the amp. That is unacceptable!!


Why bother to come onto the audiogon forums to complain about a defective unit? If it’s really new it’s under warranty. Return it to your dealer and they will issue you an immediate replacement. 
I would be very aggravated too, but this is an imperfect world, and thing like this do happen. It's a great amp and a great company. Give them a chance to make good on it, and you'll be happy that you did. No reason to run off and look for another amp so soon.  
this forum is getting more useful than ever.  Over the past 24 hrs I've learned that Klipsch and McIntosh make the worst equipment in the world and that Diana Krall is the worst musician ever.   Anyone else want to pile onto the Most Despised list? :/ 
"Would not recommend this amp!"



Dude you sound like a child! A on off switch? You dont have to get on here and bash the MAC 275 amp, it has a history that goes back to before you were born and no one is listening. On what grounds do you "NOT recommend it" be cause you've spent so much time with it ...you can now tell us all what you think. Not working here. I would love to have it! send it to me if you are so unhappy!
