Bundy,
What cartridge are you using with your 2300? Thanks.

Has anyone compared the c2300 with the c500 and/or c1000 tube preamps?

I love mine. It is integrated with my HT setup so I use it for 2-channel listening and by-pass when watching movies. The sound is smooth, refined, and musical. Very quiet. The MC phonostage with remote control resistance loading is awesome. Makes a noticable change. The multi output lets me run my mains full and also run to a sub which I crossover very low for deep bass enhancement. The memory input settings allow me to tweek bass and treble for CD vs. MC Phono. It looks stunning with the backlit, exposed tubes and of course the blue meters.

What else is there to say!
