Read opinions on McIntosh Mc 30 mono amps for years, finally found a pair of mint Mc 30's in mint condition with quality tubes. I have been in Audio heaven for the past year especially since I acquired a Mac C20 preamp within 45 days of picking up my Mc30's.
I listen to a Sota Sapphire through pair of Nola Boxer S2's on Sound Anchor stands. My late 60's rock and especially my jazz of the 50's makes my analog listening a true joy.
Started my serious audio system in1978 with Van Alstine preamp, Gas Grandson and Cizek speakers, then Bryston & Kef 105's in 1989 when I acquired my Sota
I have listened to tube amps and preamps at shops and friends home but to me the McIntosh Mc 30 and C20 have ended my search for what to me is the most natural sound reproduction.
I recommend everyone try glass amplification. If I ever down size Would look at Van Alstine tubed preamp and ST 70 amp
