Name: McIntosh C70 // 70th Anniversary Tube Preamplifier / Pristine
Brand: McIntosh
SKU: 7340625527005
Availability: OutOfStock

This (as new as it gets being used) McIntosh C70 70th anniversary tube preamp comes from a single owner system. The owner was single, no pets, retired military, and living in a townhouse in Las Vegas where he really couldn't use it without bothering the neighbors. His words: "I don't think the speakers and system are even broken in yet. I just really never felt completely comfortable playing it here". Given that it's taking 5-8 months for something direct from the factory due to the supply chain issues we're all facing, this is an opportunity to own a piece that is basically new, without having to wait. This preamp, sure to be a collector's piece, was purchased new in 2019 and comes with its original box, packaging, power cord, owner's manual, and remote.
