CJ pre-amp with McIntosh amp?

I have read that the CJ 2500A has a captive power cord. Does anyone know how long it is?

It does have a captive power cord and I want to say it is about 6ft in length. I never had an issue with the power cord being too short and I have a fairly long run to my outlet. I have heard of people having an IEC installed by a qualified technician. But I never felt the need.

Thanks. I just bought one without realizing it had a captive power cord. Doh! I need it to be a little over 7ft. or else I'm going to have to connect it to a power strip.

Actually I would, just as you proably did, expect a power amp of that ilk to have an IEC end which would allow you to use whatever power cord you wanted. Most other cj products do soI do not know why the 2500 doesn't. I think the 2250 has an IEC connector as well, so it makes little sense to me that cj would do something different with the 2500.

My 2250 has an IEC connector. Both amps are very musical BTW. If and when I do upgrade I'll probably keep the 2250 for a bedroom system with some dali 300 speakers or something similar. Once I move into a larger space I will need more power to control the bass on those 400's. Right now the 2250 is just fine for my bedroom.
