If you don't want a Mac preamp I can suggest two that work well with my MC75 mono's. I have just purchased a PrimaLuna EVO 100 Tube Preamplifier, it's really brought my system to life. Also I've had experience with Quicksilver audio line preamp. Both very high quality.
Good Pre-Amps For McIntosh
Any suggestions for a "synergistic" combination between McIntosh MC 601 monoblocks? I have some pre-amp problems and am thinking of replacing the pre-amp.
Stick with a McIntosh pre-amp? Go with something else? Tube or solid-state? The input impedance on the 601's is 22K. Speakers are Revels Ultima Salon 2's with a pair of Rel Subs.
Thanks.
PS
If you hate McIntosh there's really no need to post. Heck, I already know that I'm an uncultured idiot who can't hear real sound and wasted my money etc. I originally wanted the Levinson 53's, but they were out of my range.
