If it were me,I would get a tube amp. If you’re going to get an integrated,sell the pre. You’re pre would more than likely pair nicely with a Mac tube amp. Just the peanut gallery chiming in.
Integrated tube amp vs Tube amp?
My first foray into tubes. Does it make sense to get an integrated tube amp if I have a tube preamp ? I have a McIntosh C2700 now. Should I just look for a straight tube amp to pair with the McIntosh? Do I get an integrated tube amp and use it’s preamp ? I guess I am asking will I get more performance ,for my money, by getting just tube amp?
