Thanks for your responses. I am looking in the price range around 1500.00 used. I will definatly be looking for a balanced preamp. I was considering the belles 21A or maybe a pass 2.5. I would love a JC2 but that is out of my price range for now. I do need a remote. Any other suggestions?
Parasound JC1s better using balanced inputs?
I am looking for a preamp for my JC1s and want to know if the amps have a noticable improvement is sound using the xlr inputs? I like a couple of tube preamps that do not have balanced outputs (VTL 2.5, cj pv14L). Would I be better off choosing one that does have xlrs(Bat 3i, Belles 21a)?
