Very enjoyable and informative videos. Like sitting with a friend sharing audio tips and experiences. I own an MC225 and MX110Z. Terry rebuilt the amp about 15 years ago. The tuner preamp works but needs a rebuild badly. I replaced the selenium rectifier soon after I got it.
I love your rebuild series. I hope you do a restoration of that beautiful MX-110. I'm sure you know there is a selenium rectifier in it. One of the first tube pieces of gear that I worked on back in the 90s was an MX-110 with a blown rectifier. We built a diode bridge on a terminal strip mounted on the selenium rectifier mounting hole. Speaking of rectifiers, Have you ever tried using the Hexfred fast-recovery rectifiers? I've heard their lack of switching spikes makes them sound a lot more like a tube rectifier. I've used the 1200V ones in some of my preamp projects. I also recall replacing the worn RCA input jacks on an MX-110 with some nice gold ones. I've seen similar chassis ground gold jacks at Parts Express.
I really enjoy any restoration videos for McIntosh gear as well as Marantz which I consider the best ever made. I would suggest editing down the audio when it's necessary to run a 1000 hz tone for more than a nano second. It is truly detracting from the video to the point it is difficult to hear anything else. But great video. Make more McIntosh videos and how about a quad Marantz ? Thank you sir.
Nice video! I performing a power supply rebuild now with a kit from CT. Im thinking of changing C4 & C15? Are they 100 MF 63 volt electrolytic and do you know a good source for them? Thanks
Hi Mark, I just love your stuff on youtube. I am a retired, and old Telecomms Enginineer Even at 68 I was too young for the likes of this amp that you are playing around with.

Thanks' it was nice to follow along and do the same work on my amp that you were doing with yours. Now on to the C22
I've got a MX110Z. I love it! I bought a cap kit through ebay and replaced the bumblebees.
I have a nice MX 110 also I was looking up the prices the other day holy mackerel what they go now !
@@brd400 I bought mine years ago and you're right. Prices have skyrocketed.
wow what a response curve ❤

why it uses half wave rectifier?

I consider playing an iPod through a McIntosh MC225 a form of rape. :0
Ha ha!
I see orange not red.
