Description
Gorgeous Mcintosh MC275 Mk VI from a smoke-free home. It may be used with both balanced or single-ended preamplifiers; I believe balanced mode brings out the absolute best of it. Id always wanted one, and absolutely love the sound, but have far too much equipment and must rationalize the collection. As the photos and video at youtu.be/Wl32mP4T9Bw will show, the amplifier is operationally and cosmetically superlative. The Mcintosh box, manual, and packing are also included. The amp is the very definition of greatness. It drives a huge variety of speakers with weight, definition, authority, air, and rhythm. It is not your typical tube amp by any means. Mind you, it is still a tube amp, but does bass with rhythm and authority you would not expect from a tube amp. You will not hear bloat. You will not hear noise. This is one of the quietest amps Ive ever experienced. It is a phenomenal example of tube execellence. A startup video is available at youtube.com/shorts/iVEtJEP2n7U From Mcintosh Themselves: _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This sixth generation MC275 has many subtle enhancements from the previous release that greatly improve performance. Combined with the widest bandwidth McIntosh output transformer design, the MC275 features tauter bass control and thermally quiet circuit design. The result is pure music. Good audio engineering is timeless. - Stereophile. McIntosh patented and gold-plated Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts assure the best connection to all speaker cables, while high quality balanced and unbalanced input connectors enhance signal transfer from the connected preamplifier. The seven small tubes are LED illuminated to indicate the amplifiers functional status: upon power up, they sequentially glow amber for a few seconds and then all turn green to signify system readiness. In the rare case of an output tube failure, the small tubes in front of it will turn red to notify you of the problem. Power Control is used to remotely control tube illumination from a McIntosh preamplifier.
