I hope I do. The C200 has been very nice. Every piece of McIntosh gear is hard to give up.

Looks like that leaves me as the last man standing here with a C200. As I have two tape sources and HT integration, it's ideal for me.

Even yet, I'd be curious to the sonic benefits aside from the lower noise floor - quite significant in and of itself.

I know I would have been quite happy with the C200 forever if it weren’t for the dreaded need to “get that little bit more” that plagues us all to damnation.

To be more serious, I have been considering this for about a year or so. The upgrade program makes it a little easier and cleaner. Still, a final decision needs to be based on a listen.
