New McIntosh C22 - Upgrade Transparent Balanced Musiclink Plus


Just purchased a McIntosh C22 mk V preamp.  I am using a ML No. 333 amp that I purchased 20 years ago, as well as, using the transparent balanced and speakers cables that I purchased on the same time.  Looking for advice if I should upgrade the cables?  I don't plan on changing out the amp for atleast a year or if if i need to recap.  Most likely I will add a MC312 for MC462 amp.

Thx for the feedback.  I am using B&W 804 D3.  I have a Linn LP12 and a Blue Sound for streaming.  

Can you please explain what a “valve” unit is?  I am assuming you are referring to replacing the tubes?

Very interesting, because I think it sounds good but not GREAT!  I was using a a McIntosh MA252, which I really liked but it didn’t have power needed/wanted.  I was somewhat under whelmed when I first plugged in the C22. 
 

I am using the MM phono with a Linn LP 12.
