Thanks for your response. As I had a JRDG Concentra II which I found quite cool - although it was a heavily modified unit - I switched to Ayre V-5Xe (even greater unit) and run my Audio Aero Cap. II directly into the power amp. But as I still listen to records I need a very good pre-amp with built in phono section. JRDG Concerto for eg. or an Ayre K-5Xe + Clearaudio Basic Symmetry (these two combos are my current favourites) as well as the Hovland HP-100 which matches very well with Ayre. I don´t know if Ayre matches with JRDG pre-amp? Any idea?
