Description

Up for sale is a Mcintosh MX110Z Preamp.
The preamp is in fantastic cosmetic condition for being almost 60 years old. Chrome chassis and components are still shiny. The outer case is in excellent condition as well.
The Preamp sounds fantastic to my ears. Bass, treble, volume, and toggle controls all work.
A number of tubes were just replaced with new old stock Telefunken and new Svetlana tubes.
It looks to me like its previous owner took good care of it. A beautiful specimen for its age!
Disclaimers:
- This is a vintage device and is sold as is and as pictured.
- I tested it by playing music through its AUX input and it sounded fantastic to my ears. I tested all controls and switches that I could in that mode and everything worked as I would expect.
- It appears the unit was serviced recently as the 2 large capacitors on the top are new. You can see them in the photos.
- I occasionally heard some pops and crackles coming through the speakers while the preamp was warming up or sitting idle so it may need some tuning or another new tube - I can't be sure.
- I am describing the preamp to the the best of my knowledge and abilities.
The preamp will be professionally packaged and shipped via UPS.
