What ss amp/cables to use w/ARC SP9 MKIII preamp
I like a warm, full tubelike sound, but don't want to mess w/tube amps. My preamp is a 1997 hybrid, I'm using a CAL Icon MKII w/ Powerboss, and Von Schweirkert VR1 speakers. Cables right now are Goertz CU micropurl RCA interconnects and Mapleshade speaker cables. I listen mostly to blues, jazz,"old" rock, and some classical.
What would be the best choice for an amp: PS Audio HCAII, Belles 150 Hot Rod, McCormack DNA1, old Krell KSA 100, ANY OTHERS I SHOULD CONSIDER? I'd like to find something used for around $900-$1200. I'm not located where I can go listen to any of these......
What about reasonable cables to mate: Kimber, Harmonic Tech, Acoustic Zen, OTHERS?
Need help...Thanks
