McIntosh MAC1700 RARE Vintage 2-Channel Hybrid Stereo Receiver Tubes (1967-73)
This vintage piece is a legend. If you've never heard of McIntosh before, they were established in 1949 and are renowned for providing absolutely outstanding audio gear. When music lovers want the best, they go to McIntosh.
And the MAC1700 is the best. It's a 2-channel hybrid receiver comprised of three top-notch stereo components: a solid state preamplifier, a solid state power amplifier, and an FM MPX stereo tuner with 8 tubes, 4 transistors, and 10 diodes. When you listen to it, you can hear the difference. The sound is unique, fluid and warm, making your vinyl sound especially rich. It's finished in gorgeous silver and black with aluminum knobs on the front panel, built like a tank, and made to outlive us all.
And this monster of an amp looks insanely cool in a rack and lit up with your other vintage gear. Trust us: we've got the pictures to prove it.
