McIntosh MC-30 mono power amplifier (1954-1962) | |
It could be operated from any source delivering 0.5
volts or more, or from the McIntosh C-108, C-4, C-104 or
C-8 audio compensators (preamplifiers). Damping factor was 12 or better
for 4, 8 & 16 The front panel featured a barrier strip providing the different output impedances plus an input. Next to it was a single RCA-type input and an input gain control. Below these were two large octal sockets, one marked output, the other input (to connect to a McIntosh pre-amp). A hum balance pot was also provided. The MC-30 remains one of the most sought-after and highly rated American mono power amplifers. Priced at $153.00 when new, these prized mono blocks typically sell for between $1400 and $1800 a pair in good working condition with minor cosmetic blemishes. A 'mint' pair would easily top the $2000 mark.
