I am in agreement with the others. I have a C2500 with the Gold Lion tubes in the line stage and a MC152 solid state amp=Heaven.
McIntosh Guy Going Tubes? (Maybe?)
Need some thoughts, comments, advice: present system (mainly McIntosh): Wilson Sabrina’s, MC601 monos, C52 pre, MEN220 room cor, MB50 streamer, MCD80 spinner, PSAudio P10 regenerator. My thoughts are to go analog/tubes via MC275 MKVI monos with C2600 pre(and undefined TT). Pros - Cons?
