thanks for the response zd. i don't have the amp yet. i heard it at a local audio store, traded my b.a.t. amp in for it, but it's gonna be a coupla more weeks before it gets here. talked to the people at b.a.t. and they said it would be an excellent match. my local guys are pretty good. needed more power, was pushing my b.a.t. to hard. i was thinking of maybe going with a mac pre sometime in the future. the mac c50 looks like a nice pre, any feeling one way or another on it? are you familiar with mcintosh?
mcintosh 452 amp
hi audiogoners. i just purchased a mcintosh 452 power amp locally (traded in a b.a.t. vk250 power amp). my question is this: i'm pairing the mac with a b.a.t vk3i tube preamp. does this combination work well? would it be worth, down the line, to invest in a mac pre amp? my system so far is as follows: kef 205/2 speakers, marantz reference cd/sacd player, vpi turntable, purist audio spkr cables, jps labs interconnects and powerchords, and a running springs power conditioner. that being said, i think i've pretty much completed my system. hopefully the mac amp is the last piece of the puzzle. any feedback would be appreciated. thanks.
