You may want to look for an MX118. It is exactly what you are looking for, without the overkill. They aren't as common as the MX130 however and so may be hard to find.
McIntosh MX 130 as a 2 channe preamp tuner
I am thinking of building up a second system for my office and I have looked around at used equipment. The MX 130 looks like a pretty good value as just a stereo tuner/preamp. Stereophile B with a 7083 tuner to boot. Any thoughts or opinions on this?
