Hello AKers,
I am thinking about purchasing some mcintosh equipment. I have listened to mac gear several times over the years and was always impressed by it. I currently own tube gear and am going back to solid state again. I have a budget of $4500 give or take to purchase a preamp and power amp. This will be strictly a 2-channel system. I will be using my VPI classic turntable and my oppo disc player as my main sources. I also have apple TV to play lossy music from Iphone/Ipad. I would like to have a preamp with a very good phono stage. I would also like a remote control. I have been doing a bit of research on used equipment. I am thinking about a C40 or a C42 pre paired with a MC7300 or MC7270. I know the MC7270 has autoformer and the MC7300 is direct coupled. I should be able to acquire these within my budget. I am also open to suggestions from those knowledgeable about these components. If you had $4500 to spend on a mac system, what components would you go with? I really appreciate all suggestions and feedback. Thanks a lot.
