Instead of looking at used McIntosh gear here, check out Audio Classics. Any used McIntosh component they sell has been gone over and checked out to be sure it works properly and makes the specs. You will also get a McIntosh shipping container. Do NOT purchase a used McIntosh without the factory packaging. If it doesn’t have the factory packaging, pass it by. No mater how much bubble wrap is used, there is a 99.9% chance the unit will arrive damaged. Factory packaging is the key.
I went from a Rogue Cronus Magnum tube integrated to a Parasound Halo integrated to a McIntosh integrated in system 2. The McIntosh sounds so much better in every regard. I purchased used from AC, have owned for a little over 3 years and it has never failed me. I listen to it every day. System 1 has a McIntosh C2500 preamp and MC302 amp. I love this system and am listening to it now. I am hooked on McIntosh.
