The McIntosh C22 Preamp Looks Old School But Performs in a Modern Way

— October 15, 2015 — Tech
The McIntosh C22 Preamp might look like something you'd pick up at a thrift store, but the performance of the equipment is anything but vintage. Designed to look like it stepped out of the 1960s, the McIntosh C22 Preamp will work great with existing hardware to allow you to fine-tune your listening experience, whether it be sourced from vinyl or elsewhere.

If the McIntosh C22 Preamp is paired with other components to form a complete set, the whole unit can be operated via remote control for easy navigation and access. The bass and treble controls on the McIntosh C22 Preamp allow you to totally control the tonal output of your music, which means you'll be able to make it sound just the way you like it.
