Quick Facts
Beneath the surface beauty of the McIntosh C42 stereo preamplifier lies a
formidable piece of audio machinery. Nine inputs, including a Dual Aux/Moving
Magnet Phono input, provide more than adequate connection possibilities. The
preamp's control functions include separate Listen and Record selectors with
independent Listen and Record processor loops. An 8-band Program Equalizer helps
tune the sound to the listening room. The maximum intermodular distortion and
THD allowed is .002%
