C-50

Few names stand for American high-end audio as consistently as McIntosh. In 2018, the C-50 marked the top of the company's transistor preamplifier range: a preamplifier with built-in DAC that, at a list price of around 9,990 to 10,900 euros, sat firmly in the luxury class.

In terms of features and sonic ability, the C-50 performs at the highest level of its class. The considerably more expensive successor models stayed true to its design and differ mainly in software updates and minor equipment details — anyone looking for a big McIntosh preamplifier will find the essence of it here. Numerous reviews of the C-50 can be found online.

The unit on offer comes from its first owner and from official German distribution (240-volt version). Cosmetically and technically it is in excellent, virtually as-new condition, without scratches or dents and fully functional to manufacturer specifications. The delivery includes the original packaging, the original remote control (new version), the owner's manual in German and English, and a standard power cable.

Netzbetriebenes Gerät: für freie Belüftung sorgen, nicht abdecken. Das Gehäuse nicht öffnen — im Inneren stehen auch nach dem Abschalten gefährliche Spannungen an. Reparaturen gehören in eine Fachwerkstatt. Gebrauchtes Gerät: Vor dem ersten Anschluss die Angaben auf dem Typenschild prüfen — Geräte, die ursprünglich für andere Märkte gebaut wurden, können auf eine andere Netzspannung eingestellt sein. Alte Netzkabel und Stecker vor Gebrauch auf Beschädigungen ansehen.
