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.

- Liner Notes
Vintage McIntosh is worth every penny. They sound great, are reliable and conservatively engineered, and parts and service support is great even on 60 year old gear. Many McIntosh components made in the 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's are still in daily use today. They are Heirloom quality, built to last nearly forever.
- Packing
- Prepare to be impressed. We have arguably the best packing process around. This piece will ship double-boxed, and fully insulated, taking extra care to ensure there's no pressure against the face. Then the inner box is suspended inside a double-walled outer box using shock-resistant foam corners.
- Shipping
- This piece ships to the contiguous United States for a flat rate of $100, which includes our packaging and our insurance. Of course, we'll ship anywhere in the world, just drop us a line and we'll give you an estimate – even if you're just curious.
