McIntosh C220 Tube/Hybrid Preamplifier

For sale is a McIntosh C220 preamplifier (tube/hybrid design), I am the original and only owner, packed in the Macintosh double box with power cord, user manual and remote control.  The item is in flawless condition, rated 8/10 just for age.  It has never been repaired and had no issues whatsover.  One of the few preamps in the market in the price range with bass controls and a plethora of RCA/XLR inputs and outputs.  There is a MM phono stage built in.  They are packed to go.

It is rare to find a McIntosh product below $4K on audiogon and the C220 rarely is on sale so grab it before it goes.

I will ship via Fedex or UPS and shipping will range between $45(East Coast) and $60 (West Coast) to be paid by buyer.

There are reviews on the web and there are few youtube reviews also.  The specifications are noted below.

If you are a serious buyer, feel free to call me at (908) 565-1009.  Reasonable offers are welcome and lowballers will be ignored quickly.
