CJ pre-amp with McIntosh amp?

Great choice as well. I agree the combination of tube pre and ss amp is very good indeed; the best of both worlds. Good Luck.

I have read that the CJ 2500A has a captive power cord. Does anyone know how long it is?

It does have a captive power cord and I want to say it is about 6ft in length. I never had an issue with the power cord being too short and I have a fairly long run to my outlet. I have heard of people having an IEC installed by a qualified technician. But I never felt the need.

Thanks. I just bought one without realizing it had a captive power cord. Doh! I need it to be a little over 7ft. or else I'm going to have to connect it to a power strip.

Actually I would, just as you proably did, expect a power amp of that ilk to have an IEC end which would allow you to use whatever power cord you wanted. Most other cj products do soI do not know why the 2500 doesn't. I think the 2250 has an IEC connector as well, so it makes little sense to me that cj would do something different with the 2500.
