As far as I can tell, you wouldn't gain much. The MA6600 doesn't seem to offer an external processor loop. That's what would disconnect the 6600 preamp section from its power amp and allow you to use all the benefits of the 2600. You can use the fixed output of the 2600 into the server input of the 6000 if you wish, but that just washes the tubed output through the SS preamp section. Patience may be more appropriate.
mcintosh c2600 and ma6600 question
My Mcintosh c2600 has just arrived. Still waiting for my c452 amp. Anxious to try it out.
1. Is it possible to connect Macintosh c 2600 to my ma6600 integrated while I wait for my amp?
2. Would there be any sonic benefits? Or introducing a 3rd component would degrade the signal from my source?
3. If indeed possible, how would I actually do it? Which volume control should I be using? I have an mcd550 as a source.
4. Are there any dangers in doing this?
5. I also have a krell kav500 amp, would this make a good pairing with c2600? Speakers are VA Mozart.
