McIntosh C220 TUBE PREAMP WITH BOX, MANUAL, REMOTE - IMMACULATE CONDITION

MCINTOSH C220 TUBE PREAMP WITH BOX, MANUAL, REMOTE - IMMACULATE CONDITION

One look tells you its a McIntosh. One listen tells you it is special.
We sold this unit originally - it is in beautiful condition and was owned by an area audiophile who has moved up.

Because of its attractive price point this was a very popular preamp. And yet we see very few of these available on the pre-owned market, a small percentage of the number sold. Orion Blue Book describes the market availability as "Very Rare".

Lots of good word out there about the McIntosh C220, here are a few things Home Theater Review had to say:

"The C-220 has the traditional McIntosh look with the black glass faceplate, chrome trim and a blue display. The display is illuminated by fiber optics, the volume control knob is linked to McIntosh's advanced volume control system which keeps the channels volume matched within .1 dB. Electromagnetic switches in gas filled glass cylinders keep contacts clean and quiet.

The linestage had a smooth, accurate midrange that did a realistic job reproducing both male an female vocals. The soundstage was particularly wide and with good depth as well. Background noise was kept to a minimum and was definitely more in line with a high end preamplifier than an entry level product.

The C-220's flexibility and performance allows it to work with a large variety of sources without sonic compromise. Anyone who appreciates a high performance tube preamplifier or who has always wanted to own a McIntosh should give the C-220 a close listen as it is a worthy performer."
