I purchased this unit from the Sound Shop in Colorado Springs in 2012.  It was their demo unit at the time.  It sounds just as you would expect and served me well.  It has a ton of features.  I only used the unit to play my turntable so I never used it to its full capacity.  It was on the Stereophile recommended components list in 2012 saying:

“Beautifully built and filled with features,” the C220 is a hybrid preamp with a solid-state output buffer and tubed line and phono stages. It offers defeatable bass and treble controls; controls for Balance, Mute, and Mono; two balanced line-level inputs; seven unbalanced inputs; and a headphone amplification stage. While the C220 was very good at passing signals, it lacked body, bloom, dynamics, and dimensionality, said ST. (Vol.32 No.7)

It has just come back from McIntosh where they replaced the RCA jacks, updated firmware, repaired soder connections, calibrated and cleaned controls.  I unboxed the unit to take pictures and hook up to make sure everything was working properly, which it was.  The unit is in very good condition but I will rate it at 8 because it was a demo unit.  It comes with the original double box, owners manual, remote control and power cord.  I do not think the power cord is original but it is what came with the unit.  It is black 14-3 shielded power cord.  Shipping cost me $81.24 to send from Colorado Springs to New York just to give you an idea of shipping.  Buyer will be responsible for shipping and 3% Paypal fees.  Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.  Thanks
