I have the Cary and am enjoying it very much, it is a wonderful preamp. I have never heard the Mac or Juicy music. You can get a used Cary for $1,500.00 and get that or close to it if you don't like it and resell it, so your out very little to give it a try. Having said that, I would probably lean towards a Mac to match my amp.
Pre of three?
Hello again, I think when most people ask these sorts of questions, a lot of the time, they have already decided and they are just looking for reinforcement. Which is fine, I've done it, but this time I really have no idea, I could go with any of them and I am thinking about flipping a coin? I would love to hear from anyone who has spent time with any of these preamps. Is there one which is a clear choice above the others.
Here they are:
Cary slp-98
Juciy music peach II
McIntosh c2200 or c220
The rest of the system is a musical fidelity Tri-vista dac, Vandersteen 3a's and a McIntosh mc2500.
Thanks a lot.
Mike
