The only way to truely compare is to listen to it. If you really like the sound that is coming from your pre-amp then you might prefer that sound. I have a Capitole as well as a friend of mine. He utilizes it through a Hovland which makes the sound very lush. He prefers that route as he says the Capitole is dry. It is just a matter of ones taste.
Audio Aero Capitole mated with Krell KRC-3 Pre-Amp
Hi
Does anyone know how well the Audio Aero Capitole MKII would sound
mated with a Krell KRC-3 Pre-amp.
Current Equipment includes:
1. Krell KSA-250 Power Amplifier
2. Krell KRC-3 Pre-Amp
3. Osborn Epitome Grand Reference Speakers
I've heard that unless you have the "right" pre-amp, one might be
better off connecting the Capitole directly to the Power Amp.
Furthermore, I've also heard that Consonance R1.1 Pre-Amp is one of
the few pre-amps, which actually improves the sound. Is anyone able to
confirm this.
Keep in mind that I would like to keep the Krell Pre-amp, if they
complement each other in a positive way.
Regards,
Tyrone
