need pre amp suggestion

I am just entering the world of hi fi. I recently acquired a Mcintosh mc300 and will be driving a set of Gallo reference 3.1 (I am so anxious for their arrival) But now I need some ideas for a pre amp, because right now I am using an older H/K receiver as the pre. I was looking at a Mcintosh mc 28 that is for sale locally. Any suggestions would be great and if they are for sale on the board even better. I would like to stay at less than 1000. Thanks.

Try a nice tube preamp on top... the C28 is just OK, and you can do much better for your money. I've used the Audible Illusions Mod3 and mod3a, as well a a CJ premier 3 and premier 14 all of which sounded great with Mac's...

Do you need/want a phonostage?

You also may want to look into Mapletree Audio. Very afordable and a big bang for your buck. (I'm breaking in the Mapletree ultra 4SE with a MC402... very nice.)

good luck and enjoy.
