Saw him in Houston a few weeks ago. Good show but crowd was very reserved. He closed with Loan Me A Dime and said he had one more tour in him.

preamp for MC452 Mcintosh amp
I also use a C2300 with my MC453 - I think the C2300 will soon be discontinued though. Get one while you can. 
Vintage McIntosh Question

Less than top line reel-to-reel worth it?
J-corder has refurbished decks (Technics & Pioneer RT707) that are not as expensive as United Audio. Jeff does great work and is meticulous with the rebuilding of these decks.

Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors with low power amp?
I have some Auditor Ms that I use with a McIntosh MC452 (450w/ch) and rarely do I get above 45w/ch. You shoudl be fine with 60w/ch as long as you do not like high listening levels. 
Which one to get: McIntosh C2300 or Mcintosh C2500
I use Psvane Treasures in my C2300. I have tried Tele ribbed, Mullard, Sovtek, Gold Lions, Tungsol and ended up with the Psvanes. If you go with them spend the extra for the 'selected' ones - see Grant Fidelity.
