I can not answer the original question fairly as 99% of the time I have had a preamp in the signal path. The few times I tried it with out a preamp I was not impressed but I never put a lot of effort into making it work with out a pre amp.

Nick.......You might want to give Audio Classics in Vestal, New York a call. They are just down the road from the McIntosh factory and often buy excess McIntosh gear when there has been a model change. They may have both new and pre-owned C2300's and can change voltages for you if necessary and ship to Australia. Give Mike Sastra at Audio Classics a call.

If you are not able to get the 2300 in Oz (pity!), personally I'd wait a few months for the new MC250 to come out and test it out if at all possible.

Is it a new preamp? Without DAC?
