Why the hate for mcintosh amps?
emergingsoul,Shame on you. Obviously a provocative troll of a subject covered a hundred times before. To each his own. 
boulder and d'agostino
The way you write without capital letters or periods at the end of a sentence (?), it's hard to tell exactly what you're saying. Are you saying that Boulder suggested that you gt a D'Agostino pre? 
Mod Squad "Line Drive Deluxe"...
Ask for help. Audiogon is usually good with problems like that. 
Sugden/Allnic or Luxman L-509X?
Check out Sugden Masterclass. It's a big step up sonically from their less expensive gear. 
Air Tight ATC-5 preamp
I wouldn't mind having one of those. 
How important is the pre-amp?
I agree with Tvad. There is no one correct answer since our perceptions of sound are all subjective. I have tried both ways a number of times, and always come back to an active linestage. Yes, they all sound different, but they all seem to reveal ... 
Mod Squad "Line Drive Deluxe"...
Good job!

kmckenn,No, you didn’t. This is not the place for wanted ads. Place a "wanted to buy " in the classified section.You've been a member long enough to know that.

phusis,I agree with you. 
What are we going to do about Tele 12AU7 prices
Get a second job mozartfan. 
Nice extra free service at my local A/V store.
That's nice, but I've learned from Andy at Vintage Tube services that there is a lot more to analyzing the performance parameters of a tube than just plugging it in to a tube tester. He uses a lot of different gear. 
Does music give you longevity?
That explains a lot... 
Class A1 845 SET
That is one of the most beautiful amps around. Their older ones were beauties too, like the Jota. 
New Luxman Flagship Power Amplifier M-10X coming in October...
Looks beautiful. The English translation is amusing as always with Japanese products.
