One of the most beautiful components ever. A classic.

Thinking of buying a professional pre amp for my pc overall audio quality and these McIntosh amps are really nice.

Just discover your channel it's definitely one of the best out there. I am new to this world and would to your advice on whether McIntosh C22 would be a good pair to my JBL L100. I use it mainly for vinyl listening. Maybe CD in the future, not sure yet.

Hi! This amp is absolutely stunning. I’m thinking of upgrading from a Rotel RC-1572 MKII to the C22 MKV. Running it into Genelec 8340 monitors. Of course I’ll try and demo the unit, but curious as to your thoughts on the potential pairing. Thanks.

Comparing the C22 with the C8 in terme of pure sound quality. Is there a delta from your point of view? Thanks Andi

For someone who doesn’t need the 2800’s functionality, does this sound as good just as a linestage?

Super nice, but if I can't lift it ???

[TheMrgonzalo]

Hows the headphone amp on it? I'm a headphone guy and would like to use this to hook my turntable and dac. Thanks

[demetrij]

[Jazzman]

Newbie question. Is this compatible with a pair of Mcintosh MC75 Amplifier?

[Novilicious]

Anyone here compare McIntosh to PrimaLuna preamps and Amps. Looks aside, wondering if anyone has tried both?

[leftistelf]

that’s 4 minutes of history, inputs and looks, but nothing about sound…
