McIntosh C2600 #Tube #Preamplifier Unboxing Hands on TLPCHC TLPWLG
Advanced Digital Audio with Upgraded Tube Circuitry
The #C2600 is a versatile preamplifier with an expansive set of 16 inputs to connect virtually all your analogue or digital music sources. For audio purity, the analogue and digital sections are housed separately in our dual chassis design to prevent signal corruption.
Highlights...
New advanced digital audio section for DSD & DXD support
Upgraded tube circuitry design
Separated analogue and digital circuitry in dual chassis design
Bass and treble tone controls
Analogue inputs: 3 x balanced, 4 x line level RCA, 1 x MM phono, 1 x MC phono
Digital inputs: 3 x optical, 2 x coaxial, 1 x USB, 1 x #McIntosh exclusive MCT connection
Connect up to three stereo amplifiers
Hi-Res Audio Playback
The C2600 features a 32-bit/384kHz, DSD digital-to-analogue converter (DAC). The optical and coax inputs will decode digital music at up to 24-bit/192kHz for high resolution audio playback. The C2600 is also capable of decoding and playing DSD files; the USB input accepts PCM signals up to 32-bit/384kHz and supports DSD64, DSD128 and DSD256 plus DXD 352.8kHz and DXD 384kHz.
Improved Connectivity
With the C2600, all inputs can be renamed to your preference and are available all of the time, giving you more freedom to configure your system. The outputs have also been updated to be easier to operate when bi-amping or tri-amping so that your highs and/or lows are not accidentally turned off.
Bass and treble tone controls can adjust individual sources as needed. For headphone listening, the addition of Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD) brings an added dimension to your music. The Home Theater Pass Through feature allows for seamless integration into your multi-channel home theatre system.

Thank you for the feedback. I hope one day you get to own (or at least hear) HiFi equipment of this quality.

HI Phil. Point taken, but we literally grab a camera when we have 20mins free, click a mic into the flash mount and press record. We sell HiFi, the video's are just us trying to share what we love, with the world.

Yes I know, but it was funny to see how you threw the box aside. Nice video by the way and I think wonderful preamp. A friend of mine has just bought him, but I still can not go listen. Best Regards Phil

great videos, but is it just me or does he handle that knife like a pro

Thanks Gary. I worked in a supermarket as a kid (30 years ago) and a craft knife / box cutter was your super tool. So, three decades later...I look pretty confident with a knife.

Lots of folks are saying the hdx headphone out is comparatively low quality, and should have been either left out or just not hdx. What's your take on it if you've tried it? Very nice presentation!

@TLPCHC 3 жыл бұрын

I like the headphone output and it is superb quality. The HDX is a feature I am unlikely to use on good headphones though

@@TLPCHC Wow! Looking forward to that. I wont be receiving mine until middle of april, mcintosh is sold out and parts are on order so everything is on backorder currently. I also bought an MC462, will you do a video on that as well? Also, just a suggestion, but, you could/should try to do video footage of the gear close up, show the meters moving. i notice you only show closeups of the gears plugged in in still images. try video! it doesnt have to be a sound demo, just show the meters moving please :)

Thanks for your feedback. We have essentially zero budget for these video's and receive no income from them. We are just trying to share some pretty cool stuff with the world. We are not professional at video's - we sell HiFi most of the time, and when we have 10mins, we just set up a camera and press record.

This pre-amp is astonishing. Big upgrade over the C-2500 (which was an amazing improvement over the C-2300. How do they manage to keep making these soooooo much better each time?

Hi Paul, do you think hearing a $13,000 pre-amp over KZfaq is more or less valid than going into a store for a demo? I.M.O. and given the limitations of mic's, compression of KZfaq, computer speakers etc, you should seek to listen to any HIFi in a HiFi store.
