Description
Up for sale is a beautiful McIntosh MA5200 integrated amplifier. This unit was only used for a few months when in the middle of a firmware update the power went out in the owners house. He could not get the unit to work after that and it sat in his home used. He finally took it to an authorized factory repair center (Fort Worth Audio Service) and was told the unit would need a new control board. Unfortunately at the time we were in the middle of covid and supply chain problems and McIntosh was unable to supply the part for over a year. I bought the unit from the original owner as is and patiently waited for McIntosh to be able to supply the part. The factory authorized service center installed the control board, loaded the lastest firmware into the amp, and tested all aspects for functionality. The unit is now working perfectly and sounds as good as it looks! This is a great amp which is very versatile. It sports a great DAC and has inputs for everything you could imagine, including a phono input for you vinyl fans. Sale includes the amp, original remote control and a copy of the Owners Manual. The following is some information taken from the McIntosh website: A more compact McIntoshWith its iconic black glass front panel, glowing blue power meters, and illuminated green logo, the MA5200 integrated amplifier is every bit a bona fide McIntosh audio component built right here in the USA. But McIntosh made this amp just a wee bit more compact for those with smaller listening rooms. So if space is tight, this might just be the one. And when it comes to sound — no worries. The MA5200 still delivers the kind of huge sonic signature and musical realism that has made McIntosh amps world-renowned for decades.Enjoy all your music at its best, from high-res digital files to vinylWith a total of 9 audio inputs, including three digital connections, the MA5200 offers plenty of connectivity for a complete audio system. For your analog audio gear, youll find four unbalanced RCA inputs, plus a balanced XLR input for professional or high-end source components. The high-quality built-in phono preamp provides a connection for a turntable with a moving-magnet phono cartridge.Your digital sources are covered, too, with inputs that give you access to the MA5200s high-performance digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Its a great way to seriously upgrade the sound from your disc player, music streamer, or TV. The USB input handles digital music files up to 24-bit/192kHz for enjoying high-resolution audio from your computer.Plenty of power for modestly sized roomsWith a potent 100 watts per channel under the hood, the MA5200s low-distortion amplifier section serves up more than enough power to drive a pair of high-quality speakers nicely. The amps large power transformer uses multiple filter capacitors for plenty of energy reserves to help deliver lightning-fast transient response and explosive dynamics. A regulated power supply ensures stable, noise-free operation, even during external power-line voltage swings. And just in case you get a little too carried away with the music, McIntosh patented Power Guard circuit prevents amplifier clipping to protect your speakers. Built-in thermal protection and Sentry Monitor output protection circuits help prevent overheating to ensure high reliability and a long operating life.A Home Theater Pass Through feature lets you make the MA5200 part of a multichannel surround sound system.
