I upgraded from the C500P to the C1100 a couple years ago and have been very pleased. The C1100 is the quietest preamp ever offered by McIntosh and has an excellent hybrid phono stage (Tube+Solid state). While the C500P was very good, the C1100 performs so well that they didn't offer a solid state version. I listen primarily to vinyl and find the presentation to be quite detailed and just on the warm side of neutral. I'd certainly recommend an audition.
