McIntosh C-1000 pre-amp
Does anybody out there know anything about the new McIntosh Reference C-1000 pre-amp? From what I have read, it provides your choice of either tube or solid state preamplification, and an unprecedented array of adjustments from the remote control. Very expensive, I hear. MSRP is said to be $30,000.00.
