What would you do???


I am torn between the following solutions, all run in balanced configuration. I do not have any SACDs, so I would be getting the marantz for it XLR capability and good reviews. Both configs are about the same price.

Audio Aero Capitole SE MKII direct into a pass X250.5

or

Marants SA-11 CD player into Audio Research LS-17 Preamp

Thanks for any input.

I would go with the Audio Aero Capitole, as it is one of the very best Redbook players I have ever heard. This will allow you to add a preamp at some point in the future should you see the need, although several Capitole owners I know run direct into their amps.

My two cents worth anyway.
Good Luck!
