I think incorporating a stere pre is a great idea. I did this for years until I got a dedicated listening room, and I think you’ll really be happy with the results. What aspects of sound reproduction and system performance are most important to you, and what improvements would you really like to achieve with the stereo pre?
Parasound JC-2 BP vs Mcintosh C49
Hi,
I've been thinking about upgrading my system by purchasing a dedicated 2 channel stereo preamp. I've been using my Marantz 8802A surround sound prepropresssor in 'Pure Direct' mode for music. I only run a 3 channel home theater and have a Parasound A31 3 channel power amps. I recently upgraded my front speakers to B&W 804D3. I would say I'm using my system 90% of the time for music.
The 2 preamps I've been thinking about is Parasound JC-2 BP or the Macintosh C49. Just curious if anyone had experience with comparing these 2 preamps? I would like your thoughts on these 2 preamps.
Thanks very much.
