This item is for Local Pick Up only!

This McIntosh C70 preamp is a trade-back from a long-time audiophile customer. It is in near-mint condition and is in perfect working order. The preamp has been impeccably maintained and is a gorgeous example of this limited edition piece celebrating McIntosh's 70th anniversary. The C70 is for local pick-up only. Please contact us with any questions or to arrange a demo. 

Overview

The C70 features one 12AT7 and five 12AX7A vacuum tubes that are visible through a glass panel on the top cover. All control operations are done via knobs and rocker switches. Modern LED indicators will denote input selection and volume level. The C70 has seven inputs consisting of two balanced inputs, three unbalanced inputs, and one each of Moving Coil and Moving Magnet phono inputs. For outputs, there are two pairs each of balanced and unbalanced connections.

On the front panel, bass and treble tone controls are included and can be adjusted in 2dB increments via rotary knobs. Rotary knobs are also used to adjust the impedance and capacitance for the phono inputs. In addition to controlling the listening level, the volume knob can also adjust the relative volume balance between the left and right audio channels.

A ¼” headphone jack powered by McIntosh's High Drive headphone amplifier is included and features Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD®) technology. HXD brings added dimension to your music in a natural sounding way but can be turned off depending on your preferences. Five rocker switches are used to control the following functions: tone control on/ off; change between mono and stereo mode; HXD on/off; and to turn the independent output 1 and output 2 on/off.

The C70 sits atop a beautiful polished stainless steel chassis and features the timeless McIntosh black glass front panel, illuminated logo, control knobs, and aluminum end caps. McIntosh Power Control technology is included with four ports that can automatically turn other connected McIntosh components such as amplifiers, CD players, or turntables, on and off. Data ports are also present and can control basic functions of connected McIntosh source components via the C70’s remote control.

Amazing Jewelry Travel Case
I bought this jewelry case for traveling on a cruise and I absolutely LOVE IT! When I purchased it I didn’t know if it would actually fit all the jewelry I wanted to bring but this box definitely impressed me! It fit all my regular jewelry plus more bc you know us woman love to coordinate with our outfits lol the case/box is sturdy! It didn’t break or even dent throughout my travels. It comes with different pieces to help organize and separate jewelry but it is removable if needed which I had to do bc one of my necklaces is really big. The case fit perfectly in my carry on luggage and didn’t take up much room at all which helped me a lot. I got the black case and I just love how simple and sleek it looks. This is definitely a must have if you need to travel with jewelry and are concerned about things getting damaged, this case keeps them safe and it’s definitely a great value for your money!

finally organized all my jewerly!
Color: Black
This jewelry box completely transformed the way I store and access my accessories. It’s not just functional, it’s genuinely beautiful, with a sleek design that looks great on my dresser. The exterior feels sturdy and well-made, and the interior is soft and luxurious, keeping all my pieces protected and tangle-free. There’s a perfect place for everything: rings, earrings, necklaces, and even watches or bracelets. I especially love the multiple compartments and drawers, which make it easy to separate everyday items from special pieces. No more digging around or untangling chains! The mirror inside is a thoughtful touch, and the box itself feels compact enough for smaller spaces while still holding a surprising amount. It’s one of those things that makes daily routines feel a little more put-together. If you’re looking for a jewelry box that’s practical, elegant, and gift-worthy, this one checks every box. Great for personal use or as a thoughtful present.
