| Conrad Johnson vs Audio Research vs BAT vs Cary If you want to use a tube preamp you will have to run it single ended. The balanced input impedance on the Threshold is only 600 ohms. Any CJ, ARC, or Cary run through the RCA inputs will be fine. The 31SE, 32SE and 3iX can also be used, but not t... | |

| Which used tubed pre-amp & turntable for convert? I can't speak for the Wadia or the Aerials, but the Threshold gear is not bright. I have a T2 and it is the best line stage I ever owned.
