Instead, I’ll say that McIntosh continues to produce products that are instantly recognizable by all but the most sheltered of audiophiles. When the McIntosh C2600 preamplifier arrived at my home for review, I immediately installed it in my system. The C2600 looked fabulous on the third shelf of my Arcici Suspense equipment rack. On its front panel were its two recognizable blue meters on either side, the McIntosh name in its familiar font glowing a soft green smack dab in the center, and its two silver rimmed control knobs on either side made me feel as though I had arrived. Finally, after more than 35 years, I once again had a McIntosh component in my system.

Recorded in December 1964 at Van Gelder Studios in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, USA, this record has been selected from the Universal Music Archive for our Archival Tape Edition.

Control is handled via a four-button interface: power, function, and volume up/down. It works, but the system leans heavily on long-press combinations and provides little intuitive feedback, which makes it less friendly than most modern app-based setups. The absence of a companion app is refreshing in principle, but in practice it makes configuration more cumbersome than it needs to be.

Setting up WiFi requires connecting to the headphone’s temporary access point and configuring it through a browser interface. It avoids app dependency, which is a legitimate design choice, but the experience feels more than a little archaic. Once configured, automatic reconnection works reliably – a small but welcome convenience.

Bluetooth performance is excellent. LDAC delivers stable, high-quality streaming, though the lack of aptX Lossless and multi-device support does limit flexibility. The absence of a microphone further reduces its usefulness for anyone hoping to double this up as a work headset.

This performance was matched by the better streaming services, as was the sound of the all-star AngelHeaded Hipster tribute to Marc Bolan [BMG 538605850]. Joan Jett’s ‘Jeepster’ lacked the impetus of the original but had a brief, killer, guitar stab, while Lucinda Williams’ take on ‘Life’s A Gas’ was bonkers, but superbly focused. One possible advantage of the disc? Streaming services don’t have the set’s overblown version of ‘Get It On’ by U2 and Elton John – although on reflection that’s perhaps a mercy.

The Transport fought back with its rendition of Vivaldi’s ‘Violin Concerto in A major’ [The Trondheim Concertos; 2L 2L-172-SABD]. The stream via Tidal matched the CD playback, but the SACD layer opened up the sound, making even more of the reverberant church acoustic in this exemplary recording by label founder Morten Lindberg
