They finally arrived - all in one pallet.:thmbsp:

When unskidded, there they are - 2 beautiful white boxes, one marked Box 1 of 2, which contained the main amplifier and Box 2 of 2 the tubes (and maybe Owner's manual - at time of writing, yet to unbox).

Managed to open Box 1 of 2 and saw in there the power cord (will replace with the Cardas Golden Reference), 2 pairs of gloves (one extra pair complimentary of Ryan) and a letter from Sidney Corderman. Of course, the Golden colored MC2000 Serial number 746/750. Wow!:D

Will be posting pictures and first impression once set up.:yes:

That's one great looking amp.

Enjoy.

Wow you work fast Jerry.:D

2 weeks and the other side of the world and you already have your MC2000. Almost 2 months and 20 miles away and I'm still working on getting the XRT30 bass cabinets.:sigh:

Enjoy all your new equipment.:yes:

Victor

Congrad's Jerry, Even I don't have one of those!

Hi Vic,

Thanks. So when will you be receiving your bass cabinets?:scratch2:

I am now working on setting this up - and get a pair of hands to move out the MC501's.:yes:

Cheers!:banana:

You kidding masterlu? This is a NOS sitting at Audio Classics for quite a while before I took notice and bought it without actually much thought - except taking some time to cook a story for my wife to buy in. :D

Think they have another piece, but a used one at B1 grade, which I think you might not consider. I am so sorry to hear about this. Thought you would have a couple since you also bought over a piece of the gold titanium MC275 which you shared with all of us the glory. :yes:

This piece, if I am not wrong is exactly the same - gold titanium too except its has 65 watts more output (135 vs 75 on specs). :thmbsp:

Think you still can get NEW one on e-bay some day as understand there are people who hoard it for gains ...... :yes:

Thanks for the congrats! :thmbsp:

Cheers! :banana:

Glad you got your MC2000 and it made it ok Jerry! :banana:
That is one big, beautiful, bad a** amplifier.

Okay, opened box 2 of 2. In it are the following:

1. Un-numbered Certificate with Sidney Coderman's personal signature (not stamped or printed)in an McIntosh envelope. Wow, the man himself!
2. Warranty papers.
3. Owners Manual (so different from the standard blue copies). This is in white and in full color!
4. Tube box (nice presentation).
5. Power Cord
6. Tube Cage
7. Biasing tools.

I will be having a FREAKING GOOD TIME (sorry for the strong words) with it once set up! Man, this is one solid piece!!! :yes: Never felt so good before .....

I am soooo happy ....... :D :D :D

Glad you got your MC2000 and it made it ok Jerry! :banana:

Room temp went up 6 degrees.
