McIntosh C1100C/T

摘要

If the object of an amplifier, as Quad's Peter Walker once astutely observed, is to be 'a length of wire with gain', then Mclntosh's flagship preamplifier is a very long and impressive looking piece of wire indeed. Furthermore, it has plenty of gain too, but any prospective purchaser might be just a little wary about the very concept of the £12,995 C1100C/T. It's a massively complex, two-box behemoth with almost every feature under the sun, a sophisticated microprocessor-controlled user interface and a large complement of vacuum tubes inside - plus of course, lots of the aforementioned wire.
