In the past I owned a MC352 which is a great amp. I used with a C42 preamp with excellent sonic results. Don't think you can go wrong with this pairing. I now run MC501 monos with a C50 preamp. It sounds different but only slightly better than the first combo. My advice would be save your coins go with the C42.
Please recommend a McIntosh preamp
Hello to all. So, I have been very fortunate to have a buddy who upgraded his amplifier, allowing me to receive his. I now have a McIntosh mc 352. What would be a good match preamp to this amp when I have saved all my nickels? Do I look for a model in the same era as the amp, or look into a newer McIntosh preamp? Thankx, Arthur
