Can you use a McIntosh C12000ST preamp with a McIntosh C500 controller?
My goal is to become the proud owner of a McIntosh C12000 dual cabinet preamp/controller which I intend to use with my McIntosh MC1502 amp. However, because I can not swing the $16,000 cost of purchasing them new, I went ahead and paid $4,000 for a used McIntosh C12000ST (preamp) unit hoping that some day I would be able to pick up a used McIntosh C12000C (controller) unit at a similar discount. Although the search is now in its 7th month and I have yet to find anyone selling just the controller module for the C12000, I recently came across a McIntosh C500 controller for sale. So, the question is....can one use a McIntosh C12000ST preamp module with a McIntosh C500 controller module?
@deafanddumb , try contacting Skyfi audio. They’re the type of shop who would sell off matching (set) components independently for maximum profit. (Like selling monoblocks as separate pieces). Maybe they could put your name on a list should one come in? |
