McIntosh C220 VS C2300 AB comparison


Has anyone done an A/B on these tube puppies?

(if) Presumably C2300 sounded better, but does it justified the extra 3 bills?

I just listen to CD & Internet radio streaming, do I need c2300 at all?

Back end is mc275v + B&W803s, thanks for your advice.

I believe the C2300 is $6000 MSRP & the C220 is $4000 MSRP. I have a C2200, predicessor to the C220/C2300. You get a few more features with the C2300 vs C220 - on the fly phono cartridge impdence change, meters, to name a few. The line stages of both of these pres uses 2 tubes; my C2200 usues 4 tubes. I did prefer the sound of the C2200 vs the C220/C2300. I got it for a steal, gently used for $2700. My first foray inot McIntosh and have nto looked back.
