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

I've got a C47 paired with a Harman Kardon Citation II amp.  Not SS obviously but a revealing amplifier, fussy with front end components.  

I like the C47 as it features a very nice DAC section for my Tidal Hifi streaming as well as a fine phono section for my low output Dynavector MC cartridge.  It's reasonably priced for a McIntosh component and has the same specs as the c52 but no meters or equalizer.  

Might mate well with the MC352.
