I'm using a 909 with a Hovland HP-100 with built in phono and the combination is wonderful. Speakers are Nola Viper Reference with Scoutmaster table and Kubala Expression cables. It's very full, rich, detailed and powerful. Amazing soundstage! I'm am however very intrigued with the possibility of all tube system and am thinking of replacing the 909 with a pair of Mckintosh 275's.
Preamp to use with Quad 909 Amp
I just purchased a Quad 909 amplifier. I need to get rid of my Cary tube amp for child safety reasons. (Currently listed for sale!) I was thinking of purchasing the matching preamp (Quad 99) to use with it.
I would like a preamp with built in phono and remote control. I already have Aragon and PSE preamps, but neither have remote control. I would like to spend $1,000 or less.
I want to know if anyone has alternate suggestions, meeting these requirements, that they have heard with the Quad 909. If you have comments on the 99/909 combination I would like to hear those also.
My system is posted so please take a look at the related components.
Thanks for your advice and information. This is a great forum.
