David.......Time certainly flies by. That particular C2300 was replaced by a McIntosh C1000C/T tube preamplifier. Then the C1000C/T was sold and I purchased a new C2300 for the living room system. That should tell you just how much I love the C2300. I still have my second one in the living room system, and I still have great respect for its performance. It is an excellent tube preamplifier that I am unlikely to ever part with.

Stranger.......David is right, Gold Lion 12AX7 gold pin tubes for the C2300, and for your MC275's use Gold Lion gold pin 12AX7, 12AT7, and Gold Lion KT88 tubes.

I am assuming you purchased the eight Gold Lion KT88's at $59.98 each. I am also assuming you purchased the twelve Gold Lion 12AX7's at $44.95 each. Had you purchased those same tubes from our tube vendor Vintage Tube you would have saved $374.00. That could pay the $25.00 annual AA Subscription dues to become a Subscriber and you would still have $349.00 change in your bank account, and your new tubes. If it's not too late to cancel your tube order with whoever you purchased them from, do it. Then become a Subscriber to Audio Aficionado here: http://www.audioaficionado.org/payments.php , then go to the AA Marketplace (Accessories) or send Vintage Tube a Private Message for some big savings. He is an official AA sponsor and deserves our support.
