This legendary McIntosh C29 preamp is an absolute beauty and pairs incredibly well with both Mac solid state amps as well as tube. In fact, many prefer a solid state preamp with their mac tubes so that only the amplifier is coloring the sound. As is typical with McIntosh pieces from this era, a few small bubbles have appeared behind the glass, but they fade away at a listening distance, as you soak in the clean, classy sound.
