RE: phono stage sound mcintosh c22 or arc sp3 updated

I'm a huge fan of Mcintosh tube gear as I rebuild and upgrade a lot of it. I'm not a big fan of the C22. I have a C22 and a C11 in my collection,both of which are the same preamp electrically but they have a more sterile sound and the loudness is too boomy in the way it slopes.The SP3A in this case gets my vote. Now the C20 is a wonderful preamp and it has a much more desirable sound AFAIC.I also have two of those that are totally rebuilt.
