C52 or C2600 for streaming

[Ym2000]

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.

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!

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:
Sonus Faber Serafino Tradition speakers
C2600
MC462
Lumin T2
Nordost TYR2 Interconnects and speaker cables
Audioquest power cables
