I saw the MC225. That is a great little amp. Very special sound with a good preamp and a power supply rebuild.
1000.00 preamp, biggest bang might be the VTL.
But really all stock, never worked on...Be careful. YOUR STUFF.
I've had AR, VTL, Mac, Marantz, Pass, APhase, Decware.
VTL has a great phono section for the 1000.00, and hold up better than the older ARs. Again without work. Might be thinking about that too..
