Best Tubes results for McIntosh C2300

I suggest the Telefunkens for the phono section (MM or MC) and the reissued Tung Sol gold pins for the line stage. Will be rolling mine soon, too, with this setup

I concur with the Telefunken recommendations. I used them in the MC and line stages and left the stock tubes in the MM stage which I never used.

Once I put them in, I never thought about tube rolling again and they were perfectly reliable for the 2.5 years I owned the C2300.

Tele's

I agree 100% Telefunken. Tried several brands, and the Tele's just do everything right, I guess well balanced would be the word.

I change but then I keep going back to them. The C2300 is not a McIntosh off old, it is very natural.

Alright, everyone is claiming Telefunkens... ecc83 or ecc803s? Money aside, we all know what the ecc803s cost. Anyone tried both in the C2300?
