I agree with Porschecab " A matter of taste " and this has to be what YOU like to hear not someone else. I am not familiar with the PS Audio line that was mentioned but I can only speak from experience in having this exact set up as you are going to. The C2200 & the MC352 Awesome Combo.
I found after trial and error that the Acoustic Zen Silver Reference MKl gave me the sound I was looking for. I then after about 6 months moved up to the MKll which really took my system to another level.
I felt with the C2200 ( Tube ) using copper I.C.s were not giving me the detail I wanted, yet I still wanted the warmer sound. This is when I went with the Silver Ref. and got the combination that I wanted.
Very true on burn in time in both copper and silver being even longer.
It should be known that this was last year's system and I am now all MBL and have gone with Harmonix through out my entire system.
Good Luck and try to stay sane in this hobby as I found that cables, Interconnects and power cords can drive one nuts.
And yes, I would consider used over new in this if you can.
Let someone else go through the long hours needed to get these burned in.
