I bought this about a year ago to simplify my set-up, and get a bit of extra cash. The C-28 replaced a PS Audio line stage, Audio Alchemy phono stage and a Counterpoint tube MC pre-preamplifier. The AA phono stage was being run (with a DDE v1.1 DAC) off a PS-2 power supply (their largest) and the cables were all good quality. This piece had a new glass front panel, and a new (maybe even upgraded) volume control put in by McIntosh for the previous owner. For the money I paid (~$300 including a speaker relay and wood case), nothing else seemed to be worthwhile, and my wife loves the look of the old McIntosh gear (that goes a long way). |
