McINTOSH MC-2300 COMMERCIAL GRADE AUDIOPHILE WELL SERVICED POWER AMP This amp is owned by an audio technician of the highest calibre.

His shop was authorized McIntosh repair center. He had fixes published by manufacturers. He re-builds parts when there are none available. This is his own amp used in his band.... audio technician that also plays music! But, he is older now and does not use the amp. He replaced one of the fans with the actual McIntosh original fans, which is very very rare. He has tons of test equipment and taken care of this amp over the years ... it is his baby.

Questions for the seller |

Is the power cord included? When was the last cleaning, and any maintainance done to the unit? Many thanks, Heritage1998 As described in detail, this unit is owned, and is currently owned by one of the best audio technicians in this country. He is an electronic genius. He does amazing internal cleanings. He checked it all out, cleaned it, before he brought it to my store to photograph it a couple of months ago. |
Hello, has this amp been modified or just repaired/restored as needed? Thanks. The amp has been repaired as needed, not modified or upgraded. |
I'm sure this amp is in good electrical condition as you say, but the cosmetic condition dictates that it be graded no more that a 6 for front panel condition as well as the case, and its age. Review the grading system. I would judge the front panel to be in very good shape. it is not a new amp by any means. The side panels show more of their age. it works perfectly and measures expertly. Make an offer. |
