McIntosh C2800 Tube Preamplifier
A tube preamplifier from McIntosh Labs is not your average preamplifier. Firstly, just take a look at all the features, connections and generally cool things this unit can do. It even has its own app to control it. Normally tube preamplifiers are incredibly paired back offering only a couple of analogue inputs and rarely even a phono stage. This unit caters for the most esoteric enthusiasts out there and of course it still delivers a depth and warmth to the sound even paired with the most unforgiving of power amplifiers.
The C2800 is now on display at Carlton Audio Visual and is paired with the MC462 power amplifier.
