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. The C29 also sports a speaker control socket to be used with the SCR2 Speaker Control Relay.We have pristine L12 walnut cabinets available if you're going for more of a vintage look. The original Owner's Manual, Service Manual, and Brochure are also available upon request.
