The McIntosh C28 was one of the favorite preamps made during McIntosh's heyday. The C28 is particularly sought by collectors due to its low distortion, easy serviceability, and classic vintage styling. The C28 even includes a dedicated 20W headphone amplifier. This example is everything you could want, both cosmetically and electronically. The chassis is clean, with no signs of rust. The glass is in great shape, with a tiny bubble near the right panloc button. We've tested all the caps, and thoroughly deoxidized the pots.
