    MX110 hum (continued)

    Hi! Need some advice regarding my MX110 (s/n 591Z9), which was fully recapped in 2013 and partially last year with a transformer replacement. Last year, I had the unit serviced by a local McIntosh service center to fix a loud hum, wherein they added a 10 uF/450 capacitor (I assumed at the time...

    MX110 Transformer: source for rebuild

    I’ve run into a McIntosh MX110 with a failed secondary on the transformer. One half of the high voltage secondary measures 40 Ohms and the other half is open circuit (high voltage secondary is the red taps). Audible symptom is that the unit has a hum. I observe a 60Hz ripple on the high...

    McIntosh MX110Z and C20 (later model)

    Hi, I've been wanting to get a tube preamp for quite some time and am now able to go either way between an MX110Z or a c20. Both have been looked over and meets or exceeds original specs. Perhaps what is causing a pause from going with the mx110z is the cosmetics. The gold lettering is...
