McIntosh MC1502 2-Channel Power Amplifier
£16,990.00
The MC1502 Vacuum Tube Amplifier is a stereo amplifier designed for home audio and home music systems that produces 150 Watts per channel. It is the direct replacement to our award winning MC2152 Limited Edition 70th Anniversary Vacuum Tube Amplifier, which was released in celebration of our 70th Anniversary that occurred in 2019. The new MC1502 has identical audio specifications and sound reproduction performance of the heralded MC2152 but in a more customary McIntosh design.
Description
The McIntosh MT-10 marries classic McIntosh glass front panel cosmetics with serious
mechanics to create a unique, ready-to-play LP solution. With tracking force, anti-skate
and cartridge position preset at the factory the McIntosh MT-10 delivers high performance
LP playback with minimal set up.
The turntable base is comprised of a damped sandwich of stainless steel and acrylic plate;
a unique combination of dissimilar materials that provides a resonance-free foundation
for the tonearm. A massive, 12 pound, 2 ½” thick acrylic platter spins on a cushion of air,
elevated by a custom magnetic bearing.
A regulated power supply drives a super-quiet, brushless, Swiss DC motor. Unmatched
accuracy is derived from a new electronic speed control that references 1,595 strobe
markings per revolution of the platter. Speed adjustments of 331/3, 45, or 78 RPM are
made from the front panel and are registered on a blue, backlit McIntosh meter.
A custom tonearm features a rigid, dural-aluminium arm-tube gimbaled in two sapphire
(horizontal) and two ceramic (vertical) bearings for the least possible friction. A .5mV
moving coil cartridge is included, and features an ebony body with an elliptical stylus.
■The MC1502 Vacuum Tube Amplifier is a 150 Watt stereo amplifier. It’s a
direct replacement to our award winning MC2152 Limited Edition 70th
Anniversary Vacuum Tube Amplifier and has identical audio specifications
and sound reproduction performance but in a more customary McIntosh
design.
■ Shares the timeless styling of our classic MC275 Vacuum Tube Amplifier.
And with twice the stereo power rating of the MC275 (150 Watts vs.
75 Watts) and is physically larger, in many ways the MC1502 can be
considered the MC275’s big brother.
■ Uses our Unity Coupled Circuit output transformer technology to deliver
the full 150 Watts to almost any pair of speakers regardless if they have
2, 4 or 8 Ohm impedance.
■ Powered by (8) KT88 output tubes, plus (4) 12AX7A and (4) 12AT7 signal
tubes. The tubes are covered by a 12-gauge stainless steel wire cage
with a black powder coated finish.
■ The vacuum tubes sit atop the precision formed stainless steel chassis
polished to a mirror finish.
■ Sentry Monitor™ technology monitors the output current and shuts the
amplifier off if it ever exceeds safe limits. Also includes our Solid Cinch™
speaker binding posts and Power Control
