Did you know that the McIntosh Apple was discovered in Ontario? 🍎 John McIntosh, a Canadian farmer, discovered its sapling at his farm at Dundela, Ontario in 1811, after which he cultivated and sold the apple variety wit his wife. Now, it continues to be a popular apple variety worldwide and even inspired the name of Apple's MacIntosh computer line. #DYK | Ontario Government

The McIntosh Laboratory Inc. MC2152 is such a unique product. The matte black / carbon fibre design is not your traditional McIntosh aesthetic, but they have managed to ensure that it is still instantly recognisable as a McIntosh product. Quite an achievement. The amplifier gives 150-watts-per-channel and uses eight KT88 output valves, as well as eight small signal valves: four 12AX7A (for the balanced and input amp stages) and four 12AT7 (for the voltage and driver sections). | KJ West One
