Just in general, I would want to mate a Mac amp with a Mac pre-amp. Don't know enough about that model to say exactly which one, but I'm sure there are pre-amps by Mac designed specifically to work with that amp hopefully with the features you want. Features are a big part of selecting a pre-amp.
What is a great preamp match with the Mcintosh MC754 amplifier?
Hello all,
I just recently picked up a pair of Mcintosh MC754 amps. I am running it with an older Adcom preamp, but would like to upgrade to a much better preamp. I'm thinking of getting an Adcom 715 or 815 preamp, but I am open to other suggestions. My budget is around $500 used and I don't mind buying an older preamp that sounds great. It does not need to have a phono section in it. If anyone has experience with the MC754 amp I would love your advice.
Thanks,
Joe
