Joule Electra Mk3.
Best pre under 2000 for Quicksilver
I'm putting together a tube system and I have decided that I want Quicksilver Silver mono 60 amps. ( mostly becuase my friend is selling them ) In recent years I have heard Rogue, CJ, SF, BAT, ARC Cary and Melos. I have never heard Audible Illusions, or Kora but I would be interested. But it has been awhile so my memory is a bit faded as far as matching a pre.
I plan on running a Cal Ikon MKII source with either Monitor Audio, Silverline Audio, Acoustic Energy, or PSB speakers.( 2 way models between $900-$1500 new ) BTW, my room is about 10x14.
soooo... I like the Quicksilver mid range but I would like the pre to not only complement it but also help it with it's bass. I don't like the " in your face sound " but I would like to maintian as much of the data sent by the source as possible. From what I have heard from local people I should stay away from ARC unless it is something like a SP-8 or SP-16.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
