goose- i had the levinson 320s pre for awhile and i felt i was missing something...music through the levinson was nice, always nice, but never great...decided to give the c2200 a try and haven't looked back...the sound field really opened up and the music became sooooo much more enjoyable....thanks to the 2200, i'm real close to being set...it is by far the best that i have heard yet....
McIntosh C220 tube pre-amp Thoughts or advise vs.?
Hello,
I am looking for a tube pre-amp that sounds great, has excellent quality and will last without going to the shop and has a reasonable number of features including a tape monitor loop. For now, I will mate to a solid state amp. I have heard some excellent things about the new Mac. How does it compare to the CJ, Hovland, First Sound or other candidates? Thanks for your help. Other equipment includes:
JM lab Mini Utopia Speakers
Cary 303 CD player
McIntosh solid state amp (for now)
Harmonic Technology cable and interconnects
