McIntosh C26 ain't bad....

Posted by Tromatic (A) on April 11, 2007 at 12:20:30

I have one on loan while my ARC SP3 is getting repaired. I searched around for the C26 and read some unflatering things about them. For whatever reason, this one is not dead or flat and does not hum, hiss or spit. It's not the ARC, but it's not bad either.

The phono section is quieter than the ARC's, too, although not nearly as nice. I might buy the thing just because.

There were a number of posts talking about mods, but I never saw anything specific. The jacks have to go, and I'm assuming some of the parts could stand to be 30 years newer. What could you do to improve the treble a bit, which is my only complaint so far?

Thanks
