C52 or C2600 for streaming
 

I ordered MC462 and C2600 for my setup to go with Lumin T2. Unfortunately c2600 is delayed another 3 weeks. C52 is in stock.
Should I consider something else?
My source is Lumin T2 with Tidal - speakers are Sonus Faber Serafinos.

Wonderful, let us know how it sounds when all is setup

Hmmm.... That's a tough call. I have a C-50 and a C-2600 so I cant directly compare, but its close. I personally like tubes, but the difference between the C-52 and C-2600 is going to be very minimal (with a slight edge to the C2600.. at least to me). If you are listening at low to moderate volume, I doubt you will be able to hear much of a difference but the C2600 is less harsh (comparatively) to the C50 I have at higher volumes.

Thank you! I decided to wait another 2-3 weeks for C2600. Always wanted to have tubes sound!

Good choice

Ym2000.......Smart move. The tube preamplifier feeding the solid state power amplifier will provide premium sound quality. In my living room system I run a C2300 with a MC452. One word........Phenomenal.

Thank you so much everyone.
Patience is a virtue. In the world of instant gratification and same day Prime delivery, Its getting even more difficult to wait for something 30 + days, hahaha

C2X00 with a SS Mc amp is a very popular combo here. The wait will be well worth it!

I would say you made the right call; especially if its only 2 weeks. Make sure you keep everyone posted on what your thoughts are when you get a chance to listen to it.

C2600 is here! It was definitely worth the wait.
Almost everything is in - just waiting on a rack that's coming from overseas:
