McIntosh MC275 2-Channel Power Amplifier
£8,990.00
It came back into production as a special commemoration edition in 1993 to posthumously honor McIntosh co-founder and longtime president Gordon Gow. The reincarnated MC275 received incredibly high acclaim and earned its spot back in the product lineup. The overall storyline behind the MC275 and its history with McIntosh is exceptionally rich and it has been the driving force behind countless home audio systems for decades. It is hard to imagine McIntosh without the MC275.
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.
■This tube power amplifier has all the features to meet the
needs of today’s music enthusiast, while preserving the
qualities that have made the MC275 the most revered
McIntosh tube amplifier.
■ This sixth generation MC275 has many subtle enhancements
from the previous release that greatly improve performance.
Combined with the widest bandwidth McIntosh output
transformer design, the MC275 features tauter bass control
and thermally quiet circuit design. The result is pure music.
■ McIntosh patented, gold plated, speaker binding posts assure
the best connection to all speaker cables, while high quality
balanced and unbalanced input connectors enhance signal
transfer from the connected preamplifier.
■ The seven small tubes are LED illuminated to indicate the
amplifier’s functional status. Power Control is used to remotely
control tube illumination from a McIntosh preamplifier.
