McIntosh MC2000 vs. Goldmund 29


I have ARC VT100mkiii amp and considering an upgrade. The two amps I am considering are MC 2000 and Goldmund 29. This may seem odd choice betwee tube and SS but I want to hear your advices. FYI, the rest of my system is ML 31.5 transport, goldmund 21+ DAC and digital pre direct to amps, Voce Divina Tenore speakers. Thanks,

The MC2000 is pretty special and although the Goldmund is a wonderful sounding solid state amplifier, the MC2000 is much more musical.
I owned a MC-2000 and sold it shortly afterwords.It is a beautiful piece of electronics but is lacking in performance against other amps in its range.I upgraded to ARC REF 600 mk IIs, not even a comparison.Unless you want more power, I would keep the VT-100.
you have 21 goldmund than go to 29 without any hesitation but you must buy new millenium version it s very very good product .
I recently upgraded to a MC2000 from a Classe solid state amp. No contest, the Mac is vastly superior sounding to the Classe amp. The Mac is not only superb looking, it is musical, clean & very dynamic. I use the amp with my Wilson watt/puppy 6.0's and the combo is terrific. Stereophile picked it as amplification product of the year & rates it as a class "A" amplifier. On the plus side is it is already a "classic" product that should maintain a good resale and probably outlast you or I. Since a limited amount of these amps were made it is already a collectors item. Sounds great, looks great and a collectors piece, what more can you ask for!
