I use I am using a Mac C2500 tube preamp mated to a Mac MC 152 amp with the transformers driving GE Triton Reference speakers and this combination has gotten me off the merry go round as it is the best sound I have ever had in my listening room.
My other system uses. Mac MA6600 Integrated with transformers. I was considering a MA6500 but Audio Classics who know more about Mac than anyone else with the exception of McIntosh told me I would lose the lush romantic Mac house sound without the transformers. Needless to say I am thrilled with all my Mac purchases and am done.
