I agree with Amthanh that the CP50 would be even better for little more money. The CP47.5/65 were a step down in refinement from the previous 45/50/60 series (and obvious cost cutting if you compare the two side-by-side). I had a CP50 and loved it very much. I sold it to get a BAT vk-3i (tubed) which is better but only in hifi aspects - not in musical aspects. Sometimes I would miss the silkyness and coherence the Classe had so I added an integrated to my system so as to have both bases covered. Good luck! Arthur
Classe Model 30
I have recently borrowed a Classe Model 30 preamp to use in my 2 channel setup. My amp is a Classe CA 200 and B&W N805 speakers and a tube modded Sony 999ES. I was using my Rotel 1066 pre/pro for this function previously, but have noticed a nice improvement with the addition of the Classe preamp. It is hard to find feedback on the Model 30 and am wondering what peoples thoughts were on this preamp. I am considering buying it but would also like to get recommendations on other preamps. I listen to CD and SACD and my tastes are all over the map.
Thanks
