Mcintosh C220 issues.


Hey everyone I am knew to site but just recently purchased a Mcintosh C220 from a excellent seller on here.

The issue I am having is there is white noise on the left channel of the Preamp only on the Phonostage very noticeable during quiet parts of my records and volumes of 30+. I have switched tubes around and checked all configuration and the problem is still there. Has anyone had any issues similar to this? Please help. Thanks

When you say white noise, do you mean actual white noise, or something similar like hissing?
If the unit has the original McIntosh tubes in it you are probably hearing tube rush. Replace original tubes with Gold Lion reissues.
