Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear
No. BTW...have you seen the Mc turntable? WOW! I find it laughable. I hear it comes with "Mcintosh" removable tattoos and a pack of Lime flavored Kool Aid. 
Why do some audiophiles beat up McIntosh?
The, (useless), blue VU meters are a BIG reason people buy Mc and one of the main reasons I don't like Mc. It's just smoke and mirrors, kitsch, gimmick....whatever you want to call it. They have definitely fallen into the Harley syndrome. Overpric... 
Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh?
Because they know better. 
Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear
No. McIntosh is kitschy looking overpriced Mid Fi with chromed plastic knobs. GROSS!!! 
McIntosh MA6500 Integrated amp
Yes...the plastic knobs are shameful. Would never own a piece of gear that had plastic knobs. Don't care much for Mcintosh anyway but....all that money! they should be ashamed. 
Luxman-McIntosh CD Players
Absolutely right on the Mcintosh stuff. I don't think Mc-Music is great at anything. Especially digits! I don't waste my time with anything Mcintosh anymore. However, I have heard the Luxman and i thought it was beautiful!
