Need Preamp Advice ARC VT100 mk2
Hey 'Goners!
OK - I'm fishing again for advice. I'm running Proac 2.5's with an ARC VT100 mk2. I've gotten recommendations from two sources that running this amp with balanced inputs will make more of what it's got to give (an opinions on that?). So, I'm looking for a good match. I'll be playing more digital than vinyl, but definitely some of both. Cary CD308 and Linn LP12. I'd like to spend around $1500 on a preamp with SE and balanced out, a volume remote, and hopefully a phono section. Is that too much to ask? Please, your ideas...
One option I have is to send my Rogue 66 preamp in, upgrade it to a Magnum, and have them put in Jensen transformers to add balanced outputs. That would only cost me $450. Whaddy'a think???
Thanks.
