For the price of a MC2275 and if your trying to keep it somewhat Mac I would get a used MC252 amp with a Cary SLP94, or even a Audio Research Ls25 mk1 preamp. Keep the slam of the SS mac and add a little Cary sweetness, just my 2 cents.
McIntosh MA2275 v VAC Avatar Super
I currently own a Mac 6500 with Sonus Faber Guarneris .Whilst they work well together I would like more airiness,a sweeter more liquid sound without losing the presence the Mac has.I have heard the Mac 2275 in another system and it sounded good but not breathtaking.
I have read good reports of the VAC but as I live in England and there are no distributors here I cannot get to hear it.Any views please as to whether it offers more than the Mac or do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks
