McIntosh C34V Preamplifier - Signed

McIntosh C34V Preamplifier
Released October 1986, ¥680,000

This is the refined and rich Old Mac sound. The highly accurate 5-band equalizer frequency adjustment function can also be sent to a recorder, allowing you to record with your preferred sound quality.

In addition to mode selection and balance adjustment, various settings are possible, making it a highly functional unit. The comparator function facilitates sound quality comparison, helping you find the optimal settings.
With an output of 20W + 20W, it can also be used as an integrated amplifier.

Used until one week ago.

LISTEN
All inputs are normal. No crackling on any buttons or volume controls.

RECORD
I haven't recorded with decks for several years, so I recorded an LP for about an hour, and it recorded normally.
Please understand that this was not a long-term test, and I cannot take responsibility for that.

PRE OUT
I used it by connecting the output to a power amplifier, and it played with a clear, normal sound.

POWER OUTPUT
Tested by connecting to JBL 4344.
I listened to it alternately with a high-end Japanese power amplifier, and it performed comparably, demonstrating that its performance as an integrated amplifier is not to be underestimated.

APPEARANCE
No cracks or bubbles on the glass panel.
I believe it is in good condition for its age.
Please check the numerous photos I have taken.
When it was checked by a certain repair center a few months ago, all the dial lamps were lit with no burnouts. The brightness may differ from when it was new.
It has the signature of the then president, Gordon Gow.

It is an official import from Electri, so it uses a 100V power supply.

⚠️ Notes

Please only purchase if you understand used and vintage equipment.
Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive.
It is being sold at a lower price than the market value as it is sold as-is.

Even if it is fully functional now, there is a possibility of malfunction in a few years due to the passage of time.
I would like to sell it to someone who understands that it is a used item.

Thank you for looking.
