Here are couple of points why one would be better off buying modern production pot for his/her McIntosh unit:
1. Many original volume controls that McInoths used came with huge design flows:
a. Notoriously unreliable on/off switch. Experience has shown time and
again that by now more than 75% of those switches have failed and the
other 25% is one
foot in the grave. Very often I have
customers who tell stories of a receiver turning itself on while the
power switch is in off position. The reason for this
is the faulty switch that shorts and causes the unit to turn itself on.
Now just think about it! What if one is not home when a tube
receiver/amp comes
live! Definite fire hazard!!!
b. Unmatched potentiometer.
By now the majority of 60-year-old volume controls have deteriorated
carbon resistance paths. Those must be matched and balanced because they
play a huge role in
even sound distribution.
If a volume pot is unbalanced one speaker will sound louder than the other!
Even if one fixes an old switch/pot, the result will be short lived due to huge flows in the
design itself.
All these issues have been addressed by this volume control. These are high quality factory made potentiometers. I use these controls when restoring
customers' McIntosh preamps. Only positive results and well balanced sound.
I see many posts on various forums where people are looking/asking for a good replacement.
I have a limited quantity. Will keep few for myself and help others with this hard to find pot.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you and let's make your McIntosh sing again!!!
