The MC-240 is an outstanding amp, and should not be modified in any way! They sell for about $1000 to 1200 depending on condition. The transformers are truly outstanding, with broad, flat response. The best modification you can do for this amp is the tubes! Experiment to find a combo you like. C-22's also sell for the same price range as the MC-240. Here, it is a matter of taste - some think the old tube pre-amps are a bit dark. You must listen and decide for yourself. Again, if it works properly, do not modify it - the value drops appreciably if not original. Good Luck!

I am planning to use them with quad esl 63s gradientsw 63 sub, alphason turntable and vanderhool mc 10 cartridge. I am trying to form a decent high-end system. these are made in 1966. the mc 240 is really looks like very similar to new mc 275 .
