This question has been kicked around quite a few times recently. I would suggest doing a search on Audiogon for these players: Resolution Audio Opus 21, Wadia 861, or Audio Aero Capitole MKII. Each player has been discussed in the various preamp or no preamp posts. Good luck!
Are Preamps necessary?
I love classical music, and I have a simple system: a pair of Klipsch (RF-5) floorstanders, and Yamaha components (CDP, Tuner, and Amp). What I want from my system is to be able to close my eyes and feel like I'm there at the symphony, live.
I want to know if a preamp will help me achieve my goal. When are they necessary, or beneficial?
