Jmcgrogan2 Purity Audio Ultra Series with upgrades to Caps.

It is a overkill for my bedroom.
This one im looking to get is for the bedroom. Its going to be paird with Bob 180 monos and Philharmornic 3 Speakers but at the moment im using Danley Horns which i find to be excellent for a pro speaker :-)
No looking for something diffrent. Its like Pro Speakers, I like Danley SH50 over some B&W 800 series but im also looking for more refined types as well. Like the Salks or Conincident Ref. I like diffrent systems in diffrent rooms.
Yes Balanced is good but not a must. Since its for a bedroom system. The cable runs wont be long.

Well not heard the Dude. but a Forum member here who compared the Dude to the CLS perffered the CLS more. I trust his ears more. The Dude prob is a very good Pre-amp but i feel its not for me.
Think i might settle for th CLS unless someone can claim another pre-amp is better class for the similar money
Jmcgrogan2 there is a few other thread on here which will better serve your wisdom and assistance.
Im glad you find it all funny, I thought all 3 amps were using caps in the signal path. Thats why i asked which one.
Maybe one for the toilet lol

Iv settled for the CLS. Now im looking for Tube Amplifiers and Speakers. Might Consider the Tannoy Kingdom but lots of recomendation for Salks so will need to research.
