Preamp For McIntosh MC352


Hi

I just bought a McIntosh MC352 a few days ago and absolutely love it. I am going to be upgrading my preamp soon and would like some feedback from the knowledgeable people here on this site. Thinking of a c42, c15, or c2200. I am also considering Bat and Audio Research.

Thanks

I have a mc352/c42 it`s a good combination it`s bettered by a c2200 as a pre. I am going to replace the c42 with a Bat vk31se or a lamm ll2. I have a Bat vkp-5 phono stage with a six pack upgrade. I can`t explain how the Bat opened up the detail and gave it airyness in the depth of the soundstage, it just did. So if it did that in the phono stage it should do more wonders by replaceing the SS c42 with a tubed line stage. Keep in mind the c2200 is no slouch either. Im going with either a Bat vk-31se, Lamm ll2, Aesthetix calypso, CAT sl1 MKIII. Just some food for thought. David
