McIntosh C53 Solid State Pre-Amp Unboxed | The Listening Post | TLPCHC TLPWLG

[@johnheff7227]

Thanks for mentioning the capabilities of the HDMI input. I have been researching this for months and was unable to verify if a CD/SACD or Blu-ray player with an audio only HDMI output could be connected. Well done.

Happy to have helped

[@AudioElectronicsChicago]

Beautiful, the look of these never gets old!

[@TLPCHC]

Such a classic style and stunning pre-amp

[@bertraminc9412]

Put all the weight on the front knobs! Brilliant!

[@TLPCHC]

It is light

[@bertraminc9412]

@@TLPCHC I hope that is your unit.

How many of these units would you expect to shift in a typical years trading?

[@TLPCHC]

Not many. 2 - 3 a year per store

[@mrronenza]

Great video. Question please: I’m with an McIntosh A/V processor but using mainly streaming stereo mode. What’s preferred: adding a stereo preamp or upgrade my Blusound node streamer ? Thanks. Reply

If you had to pick one between C53 and C2700, which one would you choose?

[@TLPCHC]

C-2700 is my personal preference.

[@robertrevelo1624]

when can you do Audio Research?

[@TLPCHC]

We don't stock Audio Research, so don't / won't do video's for them.

[@kantotong9044]

You use the front panel to support the whole machine! 🥺

[@TLPCHC]

It is superbly well built. It has no issue with doing this

[@WindomRettes]

magnifique!

[@TLPCHC]

Thanks View52

[@magruderable]

It looked like you balanced it on the front plate controls. I hope I saw that wrong because that would be gay.

[@TLPCHC]

Why?

[@errolallen4449]

Why do you throw the continents of the box like their worthless? I hope you are not selling these items to the general public as new because now their damaged🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

[@TLPCHC]

Obviously the packaging is undamaged, completely intact and ready to go. But if you are offended by how I fling a box and think the main unit is some how damaged or devalued becasue of that, then I will continue to offend you in ALL my video's!

[@albertoni2245]

I can't believe you set this on the front controls. You have no clue or do you care. I would never purchase anything from your store. You should be unboxing Ikea furniture. Lol

[@TLPCHC]

Nope. Watch this again. I rock it forward onto the front panels "wings". At no point do the front controls touch the table.
