Any McIntosh C48 owners out there?

Thanks, Mglenn! I also read the report you mention about the C48 and C50 sounding the same. The Mac guy was Ron Cornelius. Like you, I prefer the 10khz control on the eq. vs the 4khz being used on the others. Thanks for your input. It seems this model is still fairly rare, as this is my second posting on this model, and you're the only one to respond, so far.

Mglenn, I just picked up a C48 as it hit Audiogon last night, so will keep you abreast of what I think of it. I'm excited to get this thing!

Well, I actually was lucky enough to find a used C48, and my observations are very similar to Mglenn's. But the biggest thing I noticed was that the sound was very clean and very spacious as compared to my former C37, which has the same specs as the C48. All-in-all, it's a terrific looking and sounding preamp. The volume control is very quiet and smooth, which was a big concern of mine, as I worried it might be like the C42's. It's not. It also has the 5-band equalizer, as compared to the 8-band Mac seems to like now, and even it's new stablemate, the C50, is using the 8-bander. The phone jacks have gone back to 1/4", vs 1/8" Mac's been using for awhile.
I can see me keeping this baby for a long time, heartily recommended.

Unfortunately, a financial crisis of sorts made me sell my beloved C48. Having gotten past that, if anyone knows of a used C48 for sale, please contact me. I missed that unit immensly, and am using a C15 until I can find another C48.
