Any McIntosh C46 users??


Hello! I am considering this preamp to upgrade from my trusty little McIntosh C712. One of the main reasons is for the equalizer because I have been doing in-room response measurements that have brought some room issues to my attention. I have the TAS review of it but they left out one of the equalizer values. They listed 7 when there should be 8 and I see a hole between 70Hz and 300Hz which I suspect is the missing value. Can anyone read it off your preamp? That is the zone that needs correction and I am estimating the preamp's potential effectiveness.

Also any opinions about its sound is appreciated. Comparisons with other preamps are most helpful for me.

Thanks!

Dennis is correct on the missing EQ at 150 Hz. I had the C42 and it is not a fully balanced Pre nor is the C46, but I do like the volume control on both. They are better than the 712 or 15 and I think one of the main reasons they sound better. Good Luck.
