I had a RLD 1 , it was nice but have since upgraded to a Conrad Johnson Classic 2 SE. No remote but awesome sound......I thought it sounded better than the C200 for what it's worth
McCormack RLD-1 v. Mcintosh C2200
Dear all,
I need to buy a new preamp to guy along with my new MC275 (which I adore). I have a chance to buy a new RLD-1 from my local dealer for a great price. It gets great reviews. I originally wanted to go with a mcintosh preamp, but they are so expensive. I understand the McCormack is solid state, but I am not sure how much of a sonic difference that will make. If the McCormack produce a similar sound, then I would much rather save the money. Also, my local dealer does not have any Mcintosh preamps in stock, and therefore, I cannot audition.
Thank you all in advance for the responses.
