Bought a Cary 120S MK2


Now I am thinking of four possible preamp matches:

1. Cary SP 3-used $1,500
2. EAR 834 L-used $800
3. Schiit Freya-new $800
4.Odyssey Candela $800

The Cary has balanced XLRs but the others do not.

I’m listening!!

The Schiit Freya actually does have balanced connections.  2 sets of XLR inputs and one set of XLR outputs.  Many tube options.  I think four PSVANE CV181-TII tubes may give you the best detail and resolution, with some magic on deep and thick body.
