No affiliation. My dream amp but all my money is being saved for Austin Record Show next month. Hopefully some AK'er gets this. Great price.

About $800 below market. This won't last.

Yeah, it sucks that I don't have the cash to do this now. If I thought I could sell my MC250 fairly quick for around $500 I would go for this but the market is pretty tight right now.

Oof, this makes the "too good to be true" category. I'd say another CL scam.

I have a friend in from Germany this weekend, I'll ask him to check it out when he goes back.

If it walks like a ... , talks like a ... , ... it's a SCAM ...

Audiophiles in Germany don't buy MC275s that is why it is so cheap. Ya, right.

Thanks,

Actually I would seriously consider it if this guy was legit. I am from H-town and go there to visit family at least once a month. I am sure if it was legit it would have only been on CL for less than a day. It's too bad but I guess it says something about McIntosh reputation that people use them to scam. Even non-audiophiles I talk to know that McIntosh is an awesome brand.
