Are you sure it's not the CDP? I found Meridian harsher than Cary or Rega. ATC's sounded very good with all Naim, not harsh.
ATC 100A Actives And Tube Preamps - Ideas ?
Hi,
I recently bought a second hand pair of ATC 100A's (not SL drivers) and am using them with a Meridian 201 preamp and a Meridian 206 CD. On certain recordings the sound can be really harsh and I thought that a tube preamp would soften the harsh edges and generally give more warmth to the sound.
I tried out an Audio Research LS15 which sounded great but was a little over my price range (£2000/$3000 second hand in the UK!). Has anyone tried other tube preamps with ATC actives ?
Any info\recomendations appreciated
