McIntosh Preamplifier System C1000 230v~50/60Hz

Why argue over whether tubes or solid-state sounds better when you can have both? The C1000 consists of the C1000C controller/power supply and two separate, fully balanced preamplifiers, one solid-state, one tubed.

Aside from the amplification methodology, the C1000T (tube) and C1000P (transistor) preamps are identical, offering nine sources each, including both moving-coil (MC) and moving-magnet (MM) inputs.

The C1000C controller has knobs for Volume, Balance, Source selection, and the Record Out selector, and provides power and control signals to one or both preamplifiers via individual umbilical cords for each channel of each preamp.

From a test in Stereophile:

"The C1000's overall freedom from mechanical artifacts, particularly on sibilants and transients, helped produce an entirely effortless sonic picture, yet with either preamp, the sound was never too soft or warm."

These 3 units are all in immaculate condition and look and feel as new.

They were bought new in 2011 and have been with the
same owner since then.

The units will be delivered in their original boxes along with all the
accessories that came with the units.
