My experience is that Your amp and pre amp must be designed and engineering by the same manufacture. Both are excellent brands and don't mix them.
McIntosh Tube Pre vrs Audio Research
Can anyone comment based on their experience between a McIntosh tube pre amp like a C2200, C2500, C50. to an Audio Research Pre amp like a LS26, LS27. I currently have an LS26 and recently got a Mac Amp for my Wilson Watt puppies and really love it. Thinking about upgrading my pre, Curious what people here have to say about the two brands.
Thank you
