This is in excellent cosmetic condition. Recently given a clean bill of health from NYC’s Technetron Electronics following a check up before selling and set aside until now. It’s gorgeous.
While a fantastic sounding preamp, I haven’t put very many hours on it. I’m simplifying my setups and I don’t use all the many features and connections a C46 offers. However, I’ve really enjoyed the 8 band EQ, which is why I’ve held onto it this long. As a music producer and engineer, It’s such a pleasure to tweak and adjust the different sources, as we are wont to do. (I’m still keeping my Mac 4200 with its 5 band EQ)
This comes with the original manual and a generic remote. If shipped, this will be very well packed. Local pickup in Brooklyn NY is available. If this is up, a question asking if it's available will be ignored. Please include your phone number for a reply.
Offers a highly refined combination of useful operating features with totally transparent electronic performance. You can take advantage of the eight-band equalizer to achieve the finest possible reproduction of digital source music as well as valuable music from earlier recording technology.
