There are many reviews out there for this simple yet wonderful preamp. I have owned the piece for approximately 12 years, though it has been in clean, dry storage in my home for the last three years or so. I am selling because I have been listening to my small system exclusively, and I have some other hobbies I'd like to pursue. I thought I might hook it up again, but I just don't have the interest I once did. Better that someone should use it than keep it stashed away.
I am the second owner, though I bought the preamp in essentially "like-new" condition at that time. I replaced the McIntosh tubes with NOS Phillips tubes early on. I'm not really sure why, since the standard issue McIntosh tubes sounded great. I'll provide both sets [the Phillips are installed, and sound great also].
Original box and manual included.
Disclosures: there is a nick in the aluminum side plate on the right hand side, which is the reason for the 7/10 rating. Like a lot of these kinds of things, you can only really see it if you get right on top of it. Also, the remote could stand to be replaced. It functions perfectly, and this is going to sound weird, but for some reason it has developed a strange sticky texture over time. Something about the plastic material they made the remote from... in their effort to give the product a premium feel, they used a material that is prone to decaying [or something]. If I were going to set it back up, I would contact McIntosh and replace the remote.
EDIT: I AM REPLACING THE REMOTE AND ALUMINUM END CAPS. THEY WILL BE BRAND NEW.
I would prefer local pickup, but I am experienced in packing and shipping heavy items, so no worries if that's the case.
Buyer pays actual UPS charge for shipping. PayPal is preferred. Buyer pays fees.
