Summary: Up for sale is a McIntosh C712 System Control Center, in very good condition. This solid-state preamp offers genuine flexibility for its era, with eight sets of RCA inputs including a dedicated MM phono stage, three RCA outputs, and even a set of balanced XLR outputs — a rarity at this level. Full-function remote control, front-panel bass/treble tone controls, variable loudness compensation, and IR-based control ports for compatible McIntosh CD players and other accessories round out a genuinely comprehensive feature set for a preamp of its time. With an ultra-low 0.002% THD rating and McIntosh's typically excellent build quality, the C712 delivers clean, quiet, reliable performance well suited to both vintage and modern systems. Shows some signs of use consistent with very good condition, but performs as intended.
