Description
This amplifier needs no introduction. It is MC275 mkVI, the current incarnation, still in production. All details are available here: https://www.mcintoshlabs.com/products/amplifiers/MC275B I have two of these amplifiers. They can be bridged to mono and used as monoblocks, but with my sensitive speakers it is an overkill, so I have kept this one as a spare. I have rotated it into use occasionally to make sure it does not sit idle too long. Now I am downsizing and the amp must go. I bought it new at Chelsea Audio in Beaverton, Oregon. It has performed flawlessly and never been serviced. It has always been kept in my smoke-free adult-only living room, away from anything detrimental. It comes with the original McIntosh branded tubes. I have used various other tubes in the amp, so the tubes have a lot of life left. I have tested the tubes recently on my Maximatcher/Maxipreamp. They all test excellent: 12AX7A (can also use 5751 with great results) V3L = Gm: 1520/1480 Gain: 98/99 Noise: -83/-81 V4L/R = Gm: 1710/2030 Gain: 86/89 Noise: -84/-88 (not in signal path when using balanced input) V5R = Gm: 1680/1450 Gain: 96/101 Noise: -85/-83 12AT7 V1L = Gm: 1750/1660 Gain: 46/46 Noise: -87/-84 V2L = Gm: 1960/1840 Gain: 48/48 Noise: -86/-87 V6R = Gm: 1710/1680 Gain: 48/48 Noise: -86/-83 V7R = Gm: 1610/1610 Gain: 47/46 Noise: -85/-86 KT88 (can also use 6550) V8L = Gm: 4.74 Ia: 36.8 V9L = Gm: 4.79 Ia: 38.9 V10R = Gm: 4.88 Ia: 41.8 V11R = Gm: 4.99 Ia: 43.7 The amplifier is in perfect working and cosmetic condition, no dings or other damage. Comes with tube cage, manual and factory packaging. The amplifier will ship packed in the original packaging (heavy duty box, enclosed in fitted stiff foam). The tube cage is lined with the factory foam insert to protect the tubes. On top of this, the amplifier will be DOUBLE BOXED in another sturdy box. As secure as it can be. For reference, the entire package is 25x19x15 and weighs 80lb. It will ship insured to full value with adult signature required. Local pickup in Portland, OR welcome.
