I've changed all driver tubes on the MC275 woth NOS (Philips Mil.spec) tubes and the McIntosh labeled KT-88 were changed by the Genalex Gold Lion KT-88. With these changes the amps are really up to each other.... Remains the fact that the Mc is far more expensive...

There seems to be more focus on the green LED's that light up under each tube. Both the chassis and PC boards seem very flimsy.
