Parasound JC-2 BP vs Mcintosh C49


Hi,  

I've been thinking about upgrading my system by purchasing a dedicated 2 channel stereo preamp.  I've been using my Marantz 8802A surround sound prepropresssor in 'Pure Direct' mode for music.   I only run a 3 channel home theater and have a Parasound A31 3 channel power amps.  I recently upgraded my front speakers to B&W 804D3.  I would say I'm using my system 90% of the time for music.

The 2 preamps I've been thinking about is Parasound JC-2 BP or the Macintosh C49.    Just curious if anyone had experience with comparing these 2 preamps?   I would like your thoughts on these 2 preamps.

Thanks very much.
