The maker

Built in Sweden, by a McIntosh owner.

Link started on my own C2700. Its remote works in the listening room, but I wanted to turn the volume down from anywhere in my house without replacing a preamplifier I love, and nothing on the market did it safely. So I built it. Every Link is built and tested in Sweden, and when you write to support, you write to me.
