I feel like a McIntosh is going to be more forgiving with bad recordings and with something like a Luxman it's going to really show you how bad the recording is!
audphile1 I totally agree with you matching the pre with the amp. But Mike Lavigne used Placette in his system which was way way way more expensive than my system. Essentially I was hoping to keep the Placette for a year or so with the new amp before trying a new preamp.
