Uau!!!
It is a new system!!! Especially the bass is now much more powerful and alive, and the Sound is so analogic, totally different, warmer, better I would say.
I was not sure if my Mc302 would match with the c2600, you know, solid+valve?. But it does great!!!
Nothing against the c47, I did enjoy it a lot, but I find it now too accurate, too exact, almost cold.
Anyway happy with the new McIntosh toy!!!

I swapped out my C50 for a C2500 and swapped out the stock tubes for a matched set of Genalex Gold Lion's and that definitely made the C2500 sing!

Moving to a tube pre-amp from a solid state is one of the most noticeable improvements one can make. (IMHO).
