Its glass-and-aluminum faceplate recalls earlier C22 designs, while its present-day circuitry provides source selection, volume adjustment, and phono playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Model Matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mk V combines a historic model name with a current-production implementation. One 12AT7 and five 12AX7A tubes serve the preamplifier, and separate moving-magnet and moving-coil inputs accommodate vinyl sources. Balanced and unbalanced line inputs support other analog sources, including the output of an external DAC. Bass and treble controls can be bypassed. Its appeal is a clear analog signal-control role with recognizable McIntosh styling rather than an integrated digital hub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent C22 Mk V tube preamplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne 12AT7 and five 12AX7A tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven analog inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate MM and MC phono inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced and unbalanced connections; bypassable tone controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor listeners who favor an analog control center and want their digital conversion handled separately.
