McIntosh C-500t Mcintosh Tube Preamplifier & Controller C500

Item is in great condition. I have the Boxes,Manuals and Remote. All 8 tubes have been changed within the last year. I'm the first owner of this item and it's out of my personal collection. I'm upgrading to the New C1100 tube preamplifier. 

McIntosh C500T stereo preamplifier

The new McIntosh C500 stereo preamplifier is a

no-holds-barred, fully balanced, dual- mono design with separate power

supplies. Available with solid-state or tube preamplifier electronics,

the C500 preamplifier combines outstanding audio performance with

flexible user-programmability. Moving Coil and Moving

Magnet phono preamplifiers are supported in both the solid-state and

tube designs. Both feature high open-loop gain enabling the use of

negative feedback around the compensation amplifiers for very low noise

and distortion and markedly improved RIAA performance. The

C500 volume control is a balanced design with a logic-controlled audio

taper. This custom attenuator is accomplished via a 4-stage, digitally

controlled analog circuit that op- erates with 16-bit precision.

Exceptional tracking accuracy guarantees that common noise and

distortion rejection are maximized. The second stage of this control

adjusts the gain of the output amplifier towards unity as the

attenuation of the first stage is increased. The result is very low

distortion and wide dynamic range.
