The debate over which sounds better; tubes or transistors is still going strong after forty years. McIntosh has led in both technologies and with the C1000, McIntosh raises the bar once again.

The C1000 is a three chassis design that allows the customer the flexibility to choose solid state, vacuum tube or both. All three modules can be combined for the ultimate in flexibility, with each source available through either preamplification module, selectable at the push of a remote control button.

Music handling is accomplished in its own Dual Mono, preamplification module, yielding over 130 dB of channel separation for ultimate stereo fidelity.
