McIntosh C-20 preamplifier

What do you guys think about the venerable Mc C-20 sonically, with upgrades but no mods? How does it compare to vintage tube preamps of it's era? I have owned an HK Citation 1 (not so good sounding), Marantz 7 tube (been a long time but it was very smooth), and a Fisher 400 (kind of dark and too syrupy)
Or how might the Mc compare to a more modern tube pre, like a Quicksilver?
I do not play records.
I use a Marantz 8B reissue or a Bedini 25 with a pair of Quad 57's. I would not be able to hear the Mc in my system is why I am curious.

Thanks.
