looking at mcintosh pre-amp c2500. Can I do better for the cost of a Mac?

I'm being told I can get a better pre amp for the money I would spend on a Mac.

It’s all relative and and very subjective. System matching or preamp to amp synergy is more important. If the C2500 makes you happy, go for it. I have and love a C52, as well as two others. The C52 is the one that makes me happy.

Also, what speakers do you have? Please do not stress, this is a hobby, a fun diversion, not war and peace. Music should bring joy to your life. The gear is just a means to an end. Most all the gear today is great, just pick the flavor that appeals to you.
