Vintage Mcintosh C24 // Solid State Stereo Preamplifier

SOLD , now part of a Private Collection
Beautiful 60's Preamp that sports a very similar design style to the legendary C22. It's a great looking and sounding pre. We have one running in one of our main systems with a pair of MacKit 30's pushing a pair of upgraded La Scalas. Can't get enough! This one has ″GWC 6-3″ etched into the front right corner but it honestly isn't noticeable at listening distance. Otherwise in beautiful shape.
