McIntosh reference preamp C12000


Has anyone purchased MAC's reference preamp C12000 (Tube & SS), if so can you tell me how to switch between Tube & SS without changing cables via preamp remote?

bernaardwilliams are you cabling btw the MEN220 and C12000. If so how did you hook up balance connection/RCA to allow the preamp remote switch btw Tube (T) & Solid State (SS)? 

I am using MC611 mono-amps, MEN220, C12000 and HIFI Rose 150B as only source. 

farne230 On the C-12000 the bottom row of inputs are tubes the top row solid state. I am not sure for the MEN-220 you can only use the fixed rca out. Ask for Chuck in service at the 1-800 number at mcintosh he can help with any question.

On the C-12000 remote the input on the left side of the remote.  On the read out on the control unit, depress until you get to the desired input be it tube in input 2 or solid state input 4. You can label inputs as well

bernardwilliams, So you are not using the MEN220 before C12000 preamp in your system?
