Rotel 1066 and B&K ref.30 anf Anthem


Am trying to naildown which of these Pre-Amps might be better or more advanced than the other!

Any opinions would be helpful.Either would be suitable in my system as far as synergy is concerned I believe.Anthem is the only I might have reservations about as far as synergy. Amps are B&K!

both good choices I also am reserved about the Anthem. Have you thought about the Classe SSP30?
I think the Classe would be out of my range,but I will look into it!
I would ideally like to have a Tube Pre-Amp for 2-channel Playback and Bypass the Processor until I use it for Movies and TV!That is what my aim is!

I just read the Ref30 might have a switching problem.The Rotel is real new and I do not know what the upgrading options are?
If you like tube you may want to look at the Theater Grand III, it's supposed to have "tube-like" play back.
