McIntosh MC 352. Not sure about the synergy with the AI preamp but a plethora of used MAC preamps out there. Another bonus is resale value/repairability and many potential buyers when(if) ready to sell.
Coda 11, Schiit Tyr, JC5 or ???
Poured over the forums but seeking repl. for Rogue Medusa. Sold my Parasound 5ch beast and had regrets at the sale-demo. Miss the gutteral full bass. I'm done with ClassD. It's got detail but lacking fullness Want more musicality and like a good soundstage and prefer ClassA/AB. Tried tube rolling. Max budget $4k new or used considering Coda 11, JC5, Kinki M7, or new Schiit Tyr pair. All in budget used. Recent Tyr favorable review in Absolute Sound. Need power for pairing with 4-Ohm CSS towers with Audible Illusions L3A pre.
Appreciate opinions?
