SOLD , now part of a Private Collection
The McIntosh C8 is a vintage tube preamplifier, originally introduced in the early 1950s, and represents McIntosh’s early foray into high-fidelity audio. Like its legendary sibling, the MC30 power amplifier, the C8 preamp helped establish McIntosh as a leader in the world of high-end tube audio. Known for its musicality, warmth, and robust construction, the C8 was one of the first dedicated preamplifiers from McIntosh, designed to pair perfectly with their mono power amplifiers like the MC30.
