Or as close to none like a passive. I have been enjoying a recent sound test with a friend that has many McIntosh`s both tube and solid state and when he introduces any preamp to them C-22 or any other high end preamp it absolutely does not sound as good as the amp alone with just a signal strait into the amp using the gain as a control.
We have been experimenting with some high quality vintage and current preamps but nothing sounds better then a strait run into the amp.
Some amps can benefit from a preamp but so far the mac`s seem to do well without.
Anyone else notice this?
