Speaking of "views", what's with all the negative comments on other forums about McIntosh? One guy actually called me "stupid" for buying their equipment.

Chalk it up to either jealousy or ignorance, then walk away.

I didn't find thread to ask.

Sorry, I'm dropping here my question.

McIntosh C2300 has 3 balanced outputs.

Question: can all 3 outputs work together (simultaneously) ?

What can you say about this preamp at all?

I am pretty sure the answer is yes. Although I only use the main and output 1 on my C2300.

It is a quiet giant of a PreAmp.

Thank you.

I have a choice now.

Problem: I never had experience with McIntosh, only listened a couple of time their IAs.

C2300 or C47 - is it large difference in transparency?

Sergio.......Yes, all three outputs work simultaneously. Two can be switched On or Off from the from panel switches.

The McIntosh C2300 is a wonderful tube preamplifier. It will not disappoint you.

What about the C22 reissue. It has only one set of XLR out and two RCA outputs #1 & #2. Can all three be used simultaneously connecting 3 amps total? I was under the impression that if I use both #1 XLR and #1 RCA output that one would cancel the other. I am a neophyte when it comes to this stuff.

But I am learning something new about audio every day, thanks to forums like this.
