Preamp Options


Hi,

I am interested in upgrading my integrated musical fidelity kw500 and replacing it with a pair of mono blocks and a preamp.

I am looking at the following pre amps:
Lamm ll2 reference
Lamm ll2.1 deluxe
Von Gaylord uni
Allinic l-3000
Audion quattro 2 chassis

If I go with the lamm, I will probably pair with lamm mono blocks. If I go with the uni, I will probably pair with the uni mono blocks.

I currently have Von Gaylord chinchilla interconnects and chinchilla speaker cables. I have some shunyata power cords and a hydra 8. I currently use b&w 803d speakers that are bi-wired. I listen primarily to indie rock and vocals using a vpi Aries 2 extended with a sound smith smmc1 cartridge.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Have a look at the TRON Seven. Beautifully made (to order) Brit boutique tube pre distributed by Jeff Catalano at Highwater Sound NYC. Great sound quality and can be customised to suit your system (with or without phono, silver/copper wire, matched cartridge loading etc). I gather a lot of people commented positively about the TRON gear at RMAF.
