McIntosh Preamp


I am looking at either the McIntosh MC 275 or MC 2102 amps. Would a MAC tube preamp be too tubey? What MAC preamp would sound better?
Thanks

I like the C2300. It gives you output meters so you can see your power output on the MC275. I had the C2200 and MC275 combo and I wish I still had it. I now use C2300 and MC402.
Alberto, to answer your question, there are things I liked about the older system. But overall I like the C2300 & 402 combo the best. Lower noise, much better bass, convenience (amp tubes v. SS). When I think back on the C2200 & 275 combo there were a few records that system gave a richness and liveness to that I don't get with the new system.
