Is the Mac c26 a good preamplifier?
Mac was great in tubes, but only mediocre in solid state for years. Great now, but not tthe C26. For $50 I might buy one just to see what it is t like compared to my more recent McIntosh preamps, but the prices people get on eBay for this are just silly.
When did Roger Russell make the C26 preamplifier?
In 1967, I began design of the C26 preamp. It replaced the C24. This was the first preamplifier to have an all glass front panel, which matched the new MC 2505 power amplifier. It was assigned a project number of P 216. The requirements had already been determined by Gordon Gow, based on his marketing research.
