Uh, uh, uh, what a "little" preamp can do....
Dear friends,
Three years ago, I purchased my first Mc component, a mcd 550 player. This september, a preowned "like new" C2300 appeared at my reliable dealer. This was my desired preamp because the great opinions I`ve read in this forum about it. Once the deal was closed, a day before the payment should be made, my wife asked me: "Do you think this equipment fits in our rack ?" "Of course", I answered. Once she left the room I ran to measure the distance between shelves, and..... Of course, by 0,393701 inches my dreamed C2300 was far from home. You can imagine my face  . What to do ? I began to look for a new rack, but, you know, the one's I found were too big, or too ugly, or too expensive....By chance, the same dealer, had a C500 T. Preowned, and in mint condition. It´s price exceeded my initial budget, of course, but once my understanding wife was persuaded, and after a hard negotiation with my loved dealer, the toy it's at home. I still can´t believe the quality leap my sistem has experienced in terms of space, detail, warmth.... I´m listening the voices, saxes, cymbals, like never before (and with the stock tubes...) Next step ? A MC275 ? I hope so. P.D.If anyone could show me how to add a couple of images, I´ll be plesed to share them with all of you.
