@armstrod The MP-3 and MZ2 are two pres high on my list (the MZ2 would also become my headphone amp) and would really love to hear your thoughts on their sonic differences. Thanks!
audible illusions vs supratek, vs holoaudio vs backert
starting to re-build a system and thought I'd start with some well known budget pre-amps that are supposed to punch above their weight. i will be playing rock cd's only through atma-sphere m60's. speakers and cd player are still TBD. any thoughts/comparisons on these brands. Obviously the supratek and holo are cheaper, but still wouldn't mind some overall feedback as I have never listened to any of them.
