totally agree about the C-70.
the C70 is a fricken bargain. sounds better than the following preamps i've had in my system. especially the phono section (i'm using a Scott Thompson modded Technics SL-1600MK2 with a VDH retipped Spectral MCR Signature cartridge:
- McIntosh C11
- McIntosh MX110
- Precision Fidelity C4
- Dynaco PAS-3
- MFA Magus C
- Conrad Johnson PV2a
- Quad 34
i also had a MINT C-80. hated it...
i blame the crappy variable loudness control in the C80. can't switch it out. make the thing sound veiled and harsh at the same time.
see ya,
Robby
