I’ve always loved Mcintosh…since the MC30. I’ve owned several Mcintosh amps, but this was my first integrated amp. I chose it for the power output and the customization I could give it. It wasn’t quite as customizable as the MA7000, but it wasn’t nearly as expensive either. And the truth is, I don’t think I could’ve told a difference. It has those hypnotic needles. For some strange reason, they’re fun to watch. I plugged this amp into some Sonus Faber Liuto Floor standing speakers and cranked the amp up to about 80% and my house shook. There are only two times where I’ve heard reproduced audio so deeply that I will never forget it. The first was when I was 12 year old with my grandfather’s Ampex console. The second was the day I cranked this up to 80% and felt the fear of God travel through my body as I wondered whether I’d just started an earthquake. The sound was so loud and clean, I was genuinely nervous.



So, about this piece…I’ve owned it for about 4 years, having bought it through Audiogon. I listen to it about an hour a week…not much. I have four small children and can’t crank it up like I like. We’re remodeling our home too, so I’m selling it.



It has the Mcintosh TM2 tuning module, a huge plus! I sometimes listen to my favorite classic rock radio station on it.



The only blemish is a 1.5 inch long scratch down the top, behind the transformers. It’s visible in the pictures. It’s completely cosmetic. Other than that, I would rate it mint condition.



I had a turntable plugged into it and a DAC that brought hi-res flac files from my Squeezebox and Pandora from my computer to the XLR inputs on the Mcintosh. I would also listen to the radio.



When I bought it, there was an extra firmware chip in the box. I searched online for the most current firmware and found it to be 2.53, to the best of my recollection, which is what the MA6600 reported it had, so I never touched the PROM chip. But I’m of course including it in the sale.



This unit can also be used as a preamp, with outputs to dedicated amplifiers. I never did that. Instead, I upgraded the Mcintosh RCA jumpers to Audioquest jumpers (also included) for a quick connection from preamp output to amp input. I suppose then, that this integrated amp could also be used as a dedicated amp, but I never tried it that way.



Packaging will be in the original double box form.



Please look at the numerous photos, from every possible angle. I’ve put high resolution photos on Flickr here https://www.flickr.com/photos/racecannon/sets/72157646863907307/ and on iCloud here https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#A75oqs3qDIWoW



There are several reviews online. I won’t link to them here. Google is everybody’s friend.



Shipping… the dimensions are 27”x25”x14” and 99 pounds. It will come from Opelika, AL 36801. You can figure shipping to your zip code yourself. The price will be added into the purchase price. No handling charge. I’ll take it straight to UPS or FedEx, or even the Post Office.



Payment… personal check is fine. So is wire. Paypal too, plus the paypal fee of course. I think it’s about 2.9%. Lcoal pickup, but I foresee that as unlikely. Anyway, whatever it turns out to be.



Write me with any questions or offers. It’s been in a non-smoking home.
