Matt-
the pre-amp is the "heart" of any system. Choose the best that you can afford. Happy Listening!

After Several Years, Time to Upgrade: Your Suggestions
My Audio System for the last few Years:
- Peachtree iDecco 1 (as digital dac/preamp only)
- Paradigm Reference Active/40 Speakers
- Harmonic Technology Truth Link Interconnect
- Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer with Velodyne Sub-crossover
- Lenovo T410 Laptop Server (Win7 Pro, Samsung SSD, 8gb RAM, JRiver 21, Halide USB/SPDIF Bridge)
- Music: jazz, classic r&r, folk
I'd like to upgrade and am thinking I'll start with the DAC/Pre and simplify subwoofer set-up. Have about $3k to spend. I have not kept up with the latest and greatest in audio and really appreciate the very knowledgeable folks on this forum. Would love to get your input and recommendations. Thanks very much for your time.
