McIntosh MC225 225 Stereo Vacuum Tube Power Amplifier! - $2,095 - (San Diego, CA)
I have had this little beauty (MC225) for over 20 years now. Its been a great addition and a stellar performer for my home studio. The MC-225 is a great amp for your collection or for daily listening. If you know and appreciate the craftsmanship that went into the design and building of these then you know McIntosh and will appreciate this great amp. I have the original owners manual, schematics, and even the original Service cards/business reply cards that McIntosh used to provide to the original owner. Arguably it is not in perfect condition and I've toyed with the idea of replacing the top plate with one of the shiny new chrome ones I see for sale on-line but for me, having a "original" just feels better. That being said, I sadly cannot speak to the vintage of the tubes. I can only guess that some are original and some may have been replaced over the years - I honestly do not know. I can tell you that during my time of ownership, I have not replaced the tubes; I have not needed to replace them and I can also say that when the unit is powered down it does not have the white-noise fade, so common of a tube going bad. I hope you can appreciate and care for this unit the way I have - I'm confident it will provide years of enjoyment. ** NOTE ON SHIPPING ** I am unable to ship this. Local Pick Up ONLY.I live in the San Diego area. Thanks.
