My best experience was an Audible Illusions Mod 3 preamp and the Aragon 4004 MK II amp. It actually was better when I changed the Preamp to the Kora Triode preamp with the Aragon. It increased the bass response and was more "musical"......I have since moved to Audio Valve gear now but the little Kora is a sleeper and holds it's own with much more expensive preamps and is not that far removed from my new AV Eklipse which costs much more........those pieces should be around $1600 together
Best Amp & Pre-amp combo for under $2000 ???
I am making baby steps in my system and looking to upgrade to separates. I tend to be around 60-70 percent music. i am using Def Tech's 2006 speakers. I am leaning toward a Rotel setup, cause i've read good things about the natural warm sound Rotel creates. and especially the performance per price. Are there any other companies or combinations i should look at for my taste? any suggestions welcome. thanks in advanced....
