McIntosh C-2200 Preamp

I am looking at upgrading to the above. Any thoughts ? My amp is a Mcintosh MC352.

I switched to an Hovland HP100 and it was much better in every way. Recently, I tried out a Lamm LL2 Deluxe w/ the MC401 and that is a very good combination. Good luck, Tim

The midrange have had a nice warmth and body. Bass wasn't as tight or as deep as in my Krell KRC-3, and the resolution was nowhere near as good. But overall, a very nice sounding pre.
