What is your budget and what are your sonic preferences? If you are willing to put up with a wait of a few months I would recommend one of the Supratek pres. I am using the Chennin with my JC 1s and it is fantastic. This pre paired with the JC 1s is as fast and lively with great slam as any solid state pre Ive heard including the K1X but retains the tube magic. I do like the Ayre but for my tastes the Supra is a much better fit. Especially given the price difference. Good luck.
Preamp Recommendations for Parasound Halo JC-1's?
Just purchased my JC-1's and love them. Looking to upgrade from my CJ-PV10A. Any recommendations? Thanks.
