Agree with Bob reynolds and Ackman00. You should audition the Parasound JC 1's. They great sounding amp's. Check out Stereophile January 2010 issue. M. Fremer compare them to Bryston 7Bsst'2, he likes the Parasound JC 1 better. According to John Atkinson's measurement test. The Bryston's has low input impedance that may be problem matching with preamp specialy tube pre and in his measurement into 2-ohms load the Bryston 7Bsst'2 didn't do as well as the other amp's tested.
Which Preamp will go well with Mag 3.6R ?
Hello, newbie here...
Pretty much set for speakers and Amp. (Magnepan 3.6R is set.)
1. Amp - Between Bryston 4B SST, or Classe CAM 350 - which amp would YOU choose? (I'm 80% leaning toward Bryston)
2. Should I go with tube or solid for preamp? (I am leaning toward tubes though...) Which preamp will match well with above set?
3. While at it,,, Which CD player do you recommend?
4. Due to limited budget, I am thinking about buying used equipments.
What sould I look for ? or be careful of in buying used equipments?
I've set $5000 budget for CD and preamp
Thanks in advance.
