I've always loved the Joe Cocker version. It puts the Beatles version to shame and I like it too.Wendell 
Kenwood KD-500-Use it or Lose It?

how much better are vandersteens 1c than model 1

I consider Hovland, VTL, Conrad-Johnson and Herron to all be superior to the Mac. 
McIntosh MC402 - Best tube preamp?
Not even close to the best. You can do much better for the same budget. Are you staying with the Yamaha amp?
