Big Difference Between The C200 & C46 and C2200

mac is correct.

TAS recently reviewed the C46 and C2200 (paired with respective tube/SS amps).

I compared the C200 to the C2200 and the C42, the predecessor of the C46. The C200 was the best of all, in all regards. It sounded as tube-like natural as the C2200, but had more authority, more drive, better bass than the C2200 when it came to dynamic pop-music (Eminem)and large orchestral music. The difference was noticable, but small, if you think that the C2200 costs 4500 $, and the C200 7000 $. I bought it because I had the possibility to get a model that was only used for a few months, with a large discount. Another reason to buy the C200 was the excellent, Ortofon-built MC phono section. I just got the bug for vinyl again and will buy a TT after 15 years CD only.

dear phillyb look at a posting about the C200 and C46 on 4-26-04 and you will get almost all the info you need.
