Cary SLP-98 preamp with Mcintosh Amp

I bought a new SLP98P in Feb. replacing a C-1 Carver. I hooked it up to a McIntosh 7270 amp and it sounded great. I sold the McIntosh amp (had it 17 years) and bought a Primo Cary V12R amp. Get one if you can. It's a perfect combo and the sound is fantastic. I got rid of all 6 of my signal processors because I no longer need them. Good luck. polk432

I used an SLP98P with my MC501's (driving a pair of Apogee Duetta II's) - loved it!

I used one slp-98l line stage with my mc2105 and mc2505 vintage solid state with great results .I had to sell the Cary and am currently looking for a cheaper replacement.So far the cheapo Amc cvt1030 fares surprisingly well,bettering some much expensive competition....still not decided...but you can't go wrong with the Cary...
