NOTHING ! Thanks to the lying eBay seller/dealer who sent me a McIntosh C-2200 tube preamp with a 1/4 inch dust inside , absolutely filthy glass face with hard crust on every knob and around buttons ,so far I've found 9 blown light bulbs in the meters & faceplate & the balance control pot is so wobbly that I can take the knob off the post and touch the glass face with the post in all directions , now I've gotta test every function in XLR and RCA ,dealer is playing the " it must have got damaged in shipping routine " so I copied & pasted every page of my Audiogon feedback & emailed it to him ,I will see how this is resolved before naming the well know eBay seller and poking his eyes out ,may post a thread in a little while to show the wobbly pot & the dustpan full of crud I took out of the preamp ,the 2 quads of tubes we're so crusted with dirt the McIntosh logo isn't visable ,I can't have anything playing while sitting at the bench for the next several hours testing every function . Sounds like water damage. Maybe the thing was in a flood... I wish it was in a flood so I could be done with it ,I got to see the pics of the dealers HT tech removing my preamp and 4 Mc amps from a dedicated HT custom built wall unit ,the moron had finish Carpenters box the equipment in with finish trim & no way to even blow out the equipment from behind ,so far I've got a $800 refund and an LED conversion bulb harness coming from Audio Classics ,the wobbly pot is the craziest fluke I've seen yet ,the nut that goes over the pot & anchors it to the rear of the faceplate firewall came lose & created the wobble ,I fixed that today & got 95% of the 9 years of dust out of the circuit boards ,after reviewing the pics I don't think the dealer tried to cheat anybody but also didn't mention how filthy the unit was ,he gave me a ridiculous deal on the LB-100 Made In America display I've been wanting for some time as well so as long as he comes through with the Audio Classics LED harness it'll be a good deal for me with an $800 refund and 40% off the LB-100 .

I hope it works out - the 2200 is a GREAT preamp! Once you get it up & running, please be so kind as to post a review here? Thanks - Boomzilla

Thanks - Boomzilla Hi Boomzilla ,I believe I posted a review of the other C-2200 I own & run in my 5 channel all McIntosh system a few years back but I'll post a new review of the unit , especially how it sounds with the XPR-1s I gave my son .
