    C-26 Phono Section left channel issue (wooshing sound and very low output)

    Above is from an old post. His description accurately describes my problem. Looks like the OP did not get much action - LOL I have the same problem. It was working fine last week. I tried to play an album last night and the left channel was shot. I only had time to test a few things. I switched...

    MC240 & C26 Set Up

    Hello to all: New McIntosh owner, and have been scouring the board for info, but didn’t come across this question: Is there a problem with plugging the power cord of the MC240 into the C26 pre-amp? The MC240 does not have a power switch, so by plugging the power into the pre-amp, they can...

    Counterfeit 2255 glass on eBay

    Seller ben8968 (in Portland) has changed his description of this counterfeit glass to include "in storage for 10-20 years old" to imply that it is NOS, which it is not. It is made offshore "shipped from overseas" is how this was described (before recent changes) and he is also changing his other...

    MC2100, MC225, MC240 advice needed

    I became obsessed with higher fidelity sound through Jazz - and I remember hearing for the first time the muted trumpet of Miles Davis on vinyl and being emotionally floored. It was on a really bad system, but that didn't matter - the music went beyond the sound quality and that was my gateway...

    Mcintosh C26 Mode Selector Connection for the c19/20 .22uf capacitors

    I am restoring a C26 preamp. I am trying to figure out which terminals on the back of the Model Selector switch the C19 and C20 .22uf capacitors are connected to. I have a schematic for the switch but can't figure out the connections from the schematic. Anyone know which terminals these...

    Recapping C304 & C305 capacitor cans on Mcintosh C26 Preamplifier

    Need some confirmation regarding the replacement of my C304A&B and C305A&B electrolytic capacitors on the Power Supply board of a C26. The original capacitors are contained in two silver covered caps. It is a real pain to dismount, cut, empty and refill them so instead I plan to disconnect the...

    My McIntosh plunge

    I have accumulated a modest amount of audio gear (at least compared to some folks here). In order of quantity (from most to fewest pieces) the ones worth mentioning are Marantz (1 integrated amp; 2 tuners; 1 receiver), Fisher (2 receivers), and H.H. Scott (1 receiver). I never owned, or even...

    Mc Intosh 250 / C26 help.

    I’ve just inherited these two components. I have no idea how to hook these together. Also, if I have just the 250 with inputs, it only operates in the mono side. Not stereo. Is the switch bad? Any help or diagrams are appreciated. I’m not audio savvy. Thanks in advance.

    McIntosh C26 upgrade advise

    Hi everyone, I am owning a C26 which is non-stop producing hiss on both channels (independent on the position of the volume knob). A technician is willing to help me out and get it solved... so went to his place where we hooked it up on measuring equipment. Finally his advice was to replace...

    Marantz 2230 + MC250 or 1700 receiver

    Hey all, I am going to attempt to get into the McIntosh world soon and am looking for some wisdom. I currently run a refurbished Marantz 2230 as my daily driver in a larger sized living room. I don't need crazy power as I use some mint Klipsch Quartets. I have narrowed things down to an...

    MX112 vs C26

    Hey everyone! So I have an opportunity to buy either one of the above units. Both are coming from the same seller and have both been gone through by a tech in the last month. The mx112 has a nice walnut case which I like and the c26 does not. Can anyone give me the pros and cons of each unit and...

    McIntosh C26 advice

    I would like some advice. Does anyone know if the McIntosh C26 would be a good fit with my other equipment. I am using a Carver a500x power amp that puts out 250 watts. I bought this from an AK'er to drive some Thiel CS2 2's. I also have a Budgie tube phono preamp and a Thorens 125 MKII...

    ANOTHER C26 Recapping Post!

    Hey guys! I'm relatively new to this forum. I'm trying to rehab an old C26 Pre-amp. My father, who loved Jazz bought this system in the late 70's. Its my inheritance from him, that and a good sense of humor, and a love of old Jazz. I've taken the unit apart, and cleaned all the pots and...
