I am selling my McIntosh C-2300 Preamplifier. I am the original owner, and purchased the unit about four years ago. It is in mint condition without flaws aesthetic or sonic. Pet free, smoke free and for the most part, kid free. I have all the original double boxes, owners manual, power cord and remote, as well as the original tubes. A few years ago I began to experiment with different tubes in the line stage as well as the phono stage. I went from Mullard, to Mazda to Telefunken before finding audio nirvana a few months ago in the Amperex Medical Grade Bugle Boy tubes bought from Kevin at Upscale Audio. They have probably less than 150 hours on them and I paid $900 for two matching pairs. They provide a tube richness with but with great detail that no other tube I heard had...not even close! They are included in my price, which I believe is more than fair given the condition and tube upgrades.  This pre is as straight forward and uncomplicated as you would want. No built in DAC, but it does have a very good to great phone stage for both MM and MC cartridges that allows for on the fly load changes. Tone control, and many balanced and unbalanced inputs and outputs.  If you love and appreciate the Mac look, sound and build quality, along with one of the audio worlds best re-sale value, this is your next pre-amp. I am selling this piece because I have the EXACT identical set up in my main listening room, and this was in my office that is now being(sigh) converted to a much needed guest room. I have paired it with both Mac amps as well as Pass Labs and it sounded fantastic with either...solid state or tube! Buyer pays PayPal fees as well as $75 for shipping, unless you wish to pick it up in Southern California. Cheers and good listening! Brian

Questions for the seller
Hi Brian, I was curious if you would consider a cash offer of $3800? I could come to Glendale on Sunday, give it a listen, and if all's well, take it away. I'm a new Audiogon'er, so I don't know if I have to pay via PayPal - which would also be fine. Thanks for your consideration! Lou
