MA2375 Vacuum Tube Integrated Amplifier

on-demo
in-stock

McIntosh’s first vacuum-tube integrated amplifier in more than a decade, the MA2375 combines a fully analog vacuum-tube preamplifier and power amplifier in one chassis. It delivers 75 watts per channel through McIntosh Unity Coupled Circuit Output Transformers, with dedicated 4-, 8-, and 16-ohm speaker connections.

A Fully Analog McIntosh Integrated Amplifier

The McIntosh MA2375 brings a vacuum-tube preamplifier and power amplifier together in one fully analog component. It is McIntosh’s first vacuum-tube integrated amplifier in more than a decade, delivering 75 watts per channel through Unity Coupled Circuit Output Transformers with dedicated connections for 4-, 8-, and 16-ohm loudspeakers.

Two balanced and three unbalanced line inputs make the MA2375 a capable analog system center. Its configurable phono input supports moving-magnet, low-output moving-coil, and high-output moving-coil cartridges, with adjustable capacitance, resistance, and gain. A five-band analog equalizer provides optional tonal adjustment at 30 Hz, 125 Hz, 500 Hz, 2 kHz, and 10 kHz, while twin McIntosh Watt Meters display left- and right-channel output in watts and decibels.

Built for the System Around It

Full-range stereo preamplifier and mono subwoofer outputs provide paths for system expansion. Power Control, Data Ports, RS232, Home Theater PassThru, and the included remote support coordinated operation, while Power Guard SGS® and Sentry Monitor™ protect the amplifier and connected loudspeakers. For private listening, the High Drive headphone amplifier includes Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD®).

The tube complement comprises four KT88 output tubes, four 12AT7 driver tubes, two 12AX7A preamplifier tubes, and two additional 12AT7 preamplifier tubes. A polished stainless-steel chassis, visible tube illumination, and blue McIntosh Watt Meters give the MA2375 its unmistakable McIntosh presence.

Planning and Installation

The MA2375 measures 17 13/16 inches wide, 9 15/16 inches high, and 20 7/16 inches deep, and weighs 93 pounds. Pearl Audio can help evaluate loudspeaker connections, configure the phono input around your cartridge, plan suitable support and ventilation, and arrange a private in-store audition.

A perspective from Pearl Audio

John’s Take

I have been waiting a long time for McIntosh to build another all-tube integrated amplifier. Roughly twenty years ago, from 2005 through 2008, Pearl Audio sold the McIntosh MA2275 vacuum-tube integrated amplifierMA2275—an earlier expression of this same fundamental idea. During that period, I personally owned a McIntosh C2200 vacuum-tube preamplifierC2200 tube preamplifier with two McIntosh MC275 Mk IV vacuum-tube amplifier shown from the front-left angleMC275 Mk IV tube amplifiers operating as monoblocks. I know what a larger McIntosh tube system can bring to a listening room, but I have always appreciated the elegance of concentrating that experience into one component.

That is what makes the MA2375 so appealing to me. Its tube preamplifier and tube power amplifier create a complete McIntosh tube system in one chassis. It has the presence and character that draw people to tubes, without requiring a collection of separate components and cables. For someone who has wanted a serious McIntosh tube system but prefers a simpler, more cohesive installation, the MA2375 may be the most convincing answer McIntosh has offered in years.

Features at a glance

Five defining capabilities

The five cards below organize the MA2375 around its essential functions: amplification, phono playback, analog control, system integration, and protection with private listening.

01 · Amplification

Tube architecture, made visible

The circuit uses four KT88 output tubes, four 12AT7 driver tubes, two 12AX7A preamplifier tubes, and two additional 12AT7 preamplifier tubes. A polished stainless-steel chassis frames the illuminated tubes and blue McIntosh Watt Meters.

02 · Phono playback

Configure the phono input

The MA2375 supports moving-magnet, low-output moving-coil, and high-output moving-coil cartridges. Adjustable capacitance, resistance, and gain let the phono stage be configured around the cartridge.

03 · Analog control

Adjustment and visual feedback

A five-band analog equalizer provides optional tonal adjustment at 30 Hz, 125 Hz, 500 Hz, 2 kHz, and 10 kHz. Two Watt Meters display left- and right-channel output in watts and decibels.

04 · System integration

Connections for expansion

Full-range stereo preamplifier and mono subwoofer outputs provide expansion paths. Data Ports, RS232, Home Theater PassThru, Power Control, and the included remote support broader system operation.

05 · Protection & headphones

Protection and private listening

Power Guard SGS® and Sentry Monitor™ protection technologies monitor operation. The High Drive headphone amplifier includes Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD®).
