Hmmm. no one suggested an Audio Research preamp? I think an LS27 can be had in that price range but no phono. Or a comparably priced SP model.
Tube Preamp Recommendations please to partner with Parasound JC-1's....
I would appreciate recommendations from the Audiogon community for a tube preamp with balanced outputs to use with a pair of Parasound JC-1 's. Having a good built-in MC phono stage is a real plus.
Looking for something used at less tha $5k.
Considering a McIntosh C2300.....is there anything else I should consider?
Currently using an Audio Aero Prestige CD with built-in pre amp. The goal is to improve musicality and add a bit of warmth (better mid-bass). Speakers are Piega P-10's.
Recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Coincident make very affordable tube phono stages. Here's a used Coincident Statement phono stage for $3,800 A review in case you are unfamiliar with Coincident. |
@gerryn I use Transparent balanced to the amps and Audience speaker cables. I have not heard many others. I have really enjoyed the AA for many years. The preamp seems very good. Just always wondering what a separate tube pre would do.In most cases a tube preamp will sound more relaxed and detailed. BTW the MP-3 suggested earlier is balanced. |
