McIntosh MC2000 Tube Power Amplifier Serial Number 001

McIntosh The Amplifier
The MC2000 Millennium Edition Tube Power Amplifier is the crowning achievement of legendary McIntosh designer Sidney Corderman. Responsible for some of the world's greatest tube amplifiers, Mr. Corderman has saved his best for last. With new and venerable technology, the MC2000 commemorates the 50th anniversary of McIntosh Laboratories.

The MC2000 is a dual mono design which consists of two entirely separate mono, 130 watt vacuum tube power amplifiers, each with it's own power supply. Output impedance connections are provided for 2, 4 and 8 ohm loudspeaker loads. The power output sections utilize the famous McIntosh patented Unity Coupled Circuit with a bifilar wound output transformer for low distortion and extended frequency response. Both balanced and unbalanced inputs are included. The illuminated power output meters have the vintage curved scale, which is an exception to the straight scale McIntosh adopted for more recent products. Ceramic tube sockets with gold plated contacts provide firm, reliable connections. Output tube sockets are designed with Air-Pipe venting at the base for quiet fan-less convection cooling. High technology power supplies are utilized with twin regulated DC heater supplies for the input tubes. The famous McIntosh illuminated glass front panel and the stainless steel chassis with Titanium Gold super mirror finish, ensures the pristine beauty of the MC2000 will be retained for many years.

McIntosh The Designer
Sidney graduated with a degree in physics from MIT in 1950. He joined McIntosh Labs in 1951 and was placed in charge of engineering, research and development. His electronic genius is unparalleled in the industry and the advanced performance of McIntosh products reflects his expertise. He contributed to the development of many McIntosh products and holds many patents relating to power amplifiers, protection circuits, equalizer systems, tuner automatic frequency control and the McIntosh Power Guard circuit. Sidney Corderman designed the sought-after MC275 amplifier, C22 stereo preamplifier, and MR71 tuner among many other highly regarded classics. These well engineered and crafted components have increased in value and appreciation with age. The MC2000 vacuum tube amplifier is destined to become a pinnacle favorite of McIntosh collectors.

McIntosh What Makes This One Highly Collectable?
In January of 2000, the Board of Directors of McIntosh Laboratories presented Sidney Corderman with a plaque in recognition of his outstanding efforts in designing and engineering one of the most widely appreciated products ever produced at the company. Included with this plaque, was a boxed MC2000 bearing serial number 001. The amplifier is still in it's unopened original box! Audio Classics is offering this "one of a kind" piece of McIntosh history, and hallmark recognition of the amplifier's designer, for $30,000 dollars.

McIntosh What You Get
This special offer includes the serial number 001 MC2000 amplifier in the unopened box as it was presented to Sidney Corderman. Another unopened box contains the vacuum tubes, gloves, manual and power cord. Audio Classics will box the accompanied original recognition plaque that references this amplifier's serial number in the inscription.
