McIntosh Preamp


I am looking at either the McIntosh MC 275 or MC 2102 amps. Would a MAC tube preamp be too tubey? What MAC preamp would sound better?
Thanks

Stanwal - LOL!

Thanks for all the input guys. Sounds like all pretty good choices. Man, this is cool equipment.
Guess it might just come down to availability and best deal I can find.
I like the C2300. It gives you output meters so you can see your power output on the MC275. I had the C2200 and MC275 combo and I wish I still had it. I now use C2300 and MC402.
I have a C2300. I like it very much. If you go with a tube pre, then replace the stock tubes with Gold Lions, Psvanes or Mullards. You will be even more happy if you do that.

Hi Hififile, are you saying that you preferred the sound of your previous McIntosh setup to the current one? I would not be too surprised, sometimes newer is not better.
