Mcintosh MCD550 // Sacd CD Player / Pristine

SOLD , now part of a Private Collection
This (as new as it gets being preowned) McIntosh MCD550 SACD/CD player comes from a one 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 piece was purchased new in 2019 and comes with its original box, packaging, remote, owner's manual and power cord.
