Yes yesterday was the day for me to retire my C33 to a secondary rig and give a C100 a shot, I've had it about 24 hours now and I must say I completely agree with the great reviews this awesome pre seems to get. As much as I liked my 33 (up until yesterday it was the nicest pre I've ever owned) the 100 is in a whole nuther league. The clarity and dead silent background are amazing. What really surprises me is that even crappy sources such as fm and bluetooth are now listenable. Cd's are amazing and I've already picked up on a phrase on a well known recording that wasn't understandable before the C100. I'm not too much into vinyl but I just may start listening to it after playing a couple records. This thing just seems to do everything right.
The only thing I didn't like about it though was the real estate is uses up. It took some head scratching and a while to reconfigure my rack. In the end it was well worth the extra effort and I think it fits in well with the both the newer and the older gear as well.
One other thing I've noticed is vintage Mac is really nice gear but the newer stuff really is much nicer. I just wish I could afford more of it. Thanks Leftside for a good deal on a great pre and X3workshop to for answering a lot of my questions.
