Description

Building my system over the past 15 years now and this is as good as it's ever been. Would have to spend incredible amounts more to get any better. Competes with the best!

Hi Lensman, thanks for the comments. The C2300 is a really warm preamp, but I feel you're paying for a lot of the features it provides which I don't really find myself using. The phono section is what really stands out in this amp. It's as good as any phono stage I have ever heard.
The Michell was my dream turntable along with the Avid Acutus. I just adore the way it looks and you could just watch the platter spin for hours. I compared the table to Rega, Pro-ject, Clearaudio, Thorens and VPI tables in my price range as well as the Mcintosh table and preferred the Michell to all of them.

Lovely system. How are you liking the Elac's? I have the FS-247s in my system and think they are spectacular speakers.
