C1100 on site and shipping!
 

My dealer sent me an email today. :D

How much ?

I think the C1100 is going to be a significant advancement for McIntosh preamplification. The new tube circuit design is interesting. I am glad to see the aesthetics match the remainder of the line up too. Looking forward to user comments.

No tone controls.....:icon_thumbsdown::no: Damn. I LOVE the tube window up front vs. on top like the C2300/2500. :sigh:

I wonder when the solid state version will be released.

I'm definitely a solid state guy. I want the piece to sound the same each time I turn it on. I just wonder why someone would spend in excess of $20,000 on a preamp and then change the tubes to make it sound different. Why buy the piece in the first place? How do you know XYZ brand tubes will make it sound even more to your liking?

I just want to sit down and listen. I don't have enough time to take components apart and play with them. I'd rather listen.

Dan... are you thinking about it?

Looks nice.... :yes:

Step right up... kidney donors on the left; first born to the right. :D

Ivan.......Not a chance. I love my C1000C/P.
