Tube Pre suggestions for Mac Amp


I have a McIntosh power amplifier that I am running CD directly into. I wanted to know if any of you Gon'ers have had any experience using a tubed pre on a Mac solid state amp and what you found to be a synergistic match.

im having some fantastic results from the mcintosh c2200 tube preamp matched with my mc500 ss amp.

im done looking at other preamps,the c2200 is the end for me,the combo is extremly dynamic & smooth at the same time.

i agree with both aball & velo62,get a preamp into the chain & your imaging will increase greatly,mac gear has always sounded its best to my ears when ran with other mac gear.
