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.
