McIntosh 2100

ps what preamp do you recomend. . i have heard tubes are good but honestly i wanna stay away from costly tubes i was thinking about a passive pre like the TLC-1. .

Mcintosh Mc-2100!! Get it !

I sold mostly my gears except Mc-2100 & c-15 pre.
I have mine for almost 3 years now and love it.

Tube pre-amp....If you can afford Cary SLp-98L

These will a perfect combo!! ( sold mine recently & will buy again when time forgiven ).

Good luck.pescolar

yeah sounds awesome but the gentleman will not talk to me about the amp. I am now considering a nakamichi PA-7 or a PA-5 mkii. two pa-5 mkii actually. there is on in my area and one on ebay i think two running in mono will sound awesome what do you guys think?

I think that you should hold out and look for another Mac. They come around frequently. I don't think there is a substitute. I used a Morrisson Elad Pre for years and it was great, but the Joule Electra I'm using now is better.

hmm i have heard nothing but good things about the MAC but i have also read good review on the PA-5 and seven makes it hard to decide. . i could get the PA 5 for around 400
