This is an analog preamp and if you intend to connect a digital source in the future you would not be able to unless your source has unbalanced out. Also the phono section seems to be limited to MM carts. If you are okay with both these limitations it should be good.
Considering McIntosh MA352
Greetings. My first forum post. I am considering upgrading my amp and looking at the McIntosh MA352. I currently have a Quad - Vena integrated amp, VPI Prime Scout turntable and Focal Chorus 726 speakers. The MA352 integrates both tubes and solid state technology (so best of both worlds with tubes and the famous blue meters) and would be an eye catching centerpiece in the vinyl room. Any thoughts about this set up or other recommendations are welcomed. Cheers.
