I 2nd Audio Classics. I've bought lots of my McIntosh gear from there.
Upgrade Mcintosh C39 Preamp to tube suggestions?
System details: Mcintosh 2105 amp- MC39 preamp- B&W 805 sigs- MH 5.1 turntable- After recently coverting to vinyl I feel guilty about running a pre-amp designed for ht so I'm considering upgrading my trusty C39 SS preamp to a tube.
I am considering the C220 but my local Mac dealer is horrible and I would rather give my business to the dealer down the street who just gave me a smokin deal on a used Mac 2205 for my man-cave garage project ($300).
The local dealer carries Conrad Johnson- and Rogue He will let me take anything I want home to audition. So I'm looking for suggestions on tube pre-amps that would be on par or better than a C220? Would like to keep the cost under $4000. Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
If CJ or Rogue are not in the same league as Mcintosh please let me know that too!... That should get the chickens dancing. LOL
Thanks
