best preamp for 501's


I will be using ( just purchased, not delivered)501 monoblocks. Have maggie 3.6's, musical fidelity a5 cd player and a michell gyro se turntable. Out of the c46, c2200 or c2300 how do these pair with the 501's. I am amazed ay the varying opinions between the 2200 and 2300. I hear some say that the 2300 is lean sounding, while others say the exact opposite. I prefer a balance of detail and warmth. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Congratulations on your 501's! I use a CJ premier 14 with NOS hitachi and mullard tubes. The authority and smooth presentation of the 501's mate very nice with the musicality of the CJ preamp, especially with my Theils. Magical midrange and texture.

I have had this preamp for several years, its the only one I have run with the Mac's. Good luck in your search - great amps!
