Blue Circle BC3 vs BC21.1


Hi
anyone have opinions on these 2 preamps? is the BC3 that much better to justify double the price? a used BC3 despina is about the same price as a new 21.1

i am planning on using with a BC22 amp and focus audio fs78se speakers.

thanks.

Give them time to get back to you also, as the Blue Circle gang is on their first vacation since 1990. I think they'll be back around the 12th? or so.

My opinion, any preamp with its gain of low level signals, esp phono stages, should have external power supplies. For me, I hear a big difference in info, size and focus of soundstage.... I'd at least go for a BC3 (over the 21.1).IMHO.
