I bought a MC240 from a friend back in the 90’s. Was driving it from a Counterpoint SA 5.1 preamp. I sold them to buy a new Cary SLI-50 (which I still have and will never sell)
Very much wish I had never sold them, should’ve kept them and bought the Cary as a 2nd.
At the time, I didn’t fully appreciate what I had or what they were capable of. Was too young I guess. Got into tubes without due diligence, and didn’t understand how the tubes I had in the units were sub standard, old and generally not up to snuff. Fresh tubes all around and a recap of the MC240 would’ve changed everything. I have every intention of at a minimum getting another Counterpoint. One day...
