those two mx110z's: one may not be OEM walnut case, verify with seller if it matters.
Need preamp recommendation
Hi everyone :)
I am in the market for a 2-ch preamp to go with my power amp, and am looking for some recomendations. Will prob go used, as I think I can get more value for my money. I would like to limit the sale price @ $4k.
Do I want this?:

Maybe something else?
Thanks in advance.

I bought a McIntosh mx110z Tube Tuner/Preamp I’ve never been happier (I’m 72), terrific tuner, wonderful pre-amp and two MM Phono inputs. I now have TT with two tonearms, that turned out to be a great feature. Happens to be two for sale here, this one of the best ones I have ever seen (I don’t know the member, it just came up on hifishark) https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa3e8j-mcintosh-mx-110-tube?refsource=hifishark this one also very nice, https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9hcbb-mcintosh-mx-110-tube the glass face can be replaced, or re-painted, it's just black paint on the back, I broke/replaced mine $45. Seller online sells new glass already painted around $90. review https://positive-feedback.com/Issue77/vintage_mcintosh_experience.htm not many have the wood case as both these do. |
