I'd seriously consider a used Bel Canto eVo 200.2 or a Musical Fidelity A3CR. Both are Steriophile Class A. You can get the eVo for about $1400 and the A3CR for about $1100 used on Audiogon. I am in the process of auditioning both of these with my Adcom GFP-750 pre, Rega Planet 2000, and Rega P25 turntable. Haven't decided which one to go with, but I recommend focusing on the differnce in mid range presentation, and the difference between active-passive modes with each.
Good SS amp for VR-4 and GFP-750
Hello,
I would welcome any advice regarding a good (used OK) SS amp for von Schweikert VR-4's (which will eventually go through VR-5 upgrade) and Adcom GFP-750 pre-amp.
Listening room is 24'x16'x8'.
Looking at someting in the 1k to 3k range (would obviously prefer closer to 1k!). I'd also welcome cable suggestions.
Music preferences are very broad, but I listen to a lot of Cuban sons (generically, think of it as Latin Jazz, with all sorts of strings, horns, percussions, male/female vocals, ala Buena Vista SC), as well as a fair amount of Classic Rock (Led Zep, PF, Beatles, etc.)
A few times a year, I invite my employees over, and I need to reach decent sound levels for dancing.
thank you very much
