I run a Linn Genki variable out to a Mesa Baron tube amp. There is some brightness that I think could be attributed to the magnepan tweeters or the CD interface. One thing I have been considering is the SCE harmonic recovery system between the Linn and Mesa. One review at Audioreview said that it cured the treble brightness on his MMGs as well as added a wealth of information.
Cd direct to power amp
I have a Wadia 830 cd player, currently connected to a Krell integrated and Aerial Acoustic 6bs. I am thinking about connecting directly to a power amp, and would like to know thoughts and experiences. I am considering Bryston, Classe and Krell. I know I can bypass the Krell preamp, but at this time, I only have balanced interconnects and the amp part of the krell integrated only accepts rca. I would appreciate hearing your experiences and suggestions. Thanks,blbloom
