Has anyone compared SP16 to C2200 ... ?


Has anyone compared SP16 to C2200 ... or C22/C22 reissue ?
As it also uses 12AX7 tubes ...

My SP16 is mated with a Mc275CE and an ARC VT50
and I would like to upgrade to the MC2200

Hi Jrd351
What are your amp and speakers ?
I have Tannoy : 615, D700, Turnberry, etc ...

May you give more details about "C22reissue vs C2200" ?
i use the c22 with an mc2102. the c2200 throws a larger soundstage and doesn't roll off on the highest frequencies. like the 16 it has a great deal of detail, but it retains more tube sweetness. the c22 has been in my system for almost a decade, and although (through a lengthy audition)i know the 2200 is a better performer, i've grown too fond of the re-issue to part with it. the phono section is also great. speakers are gradient revolutions...front end(s)..mcd205/thorens jubalee.
