Default Re: McIntosh valve amplifier manufacture.

Ooh, wow. How do they do the special heaters in the valves which make them glow green?

All mine are just the old-school reddy-orange.

The speaker terminals are in a non-magnetic material "which is important because magnetic ones would react to the current and cause distortion"

I suppose non-magnetic materials for the transformers would price them out of the market ?

Sorry, but the twaddle factor is too high to watch further.
