I agree with Blindjim's mention of cable upgrade so you can hear what you currently have equipment wise. First I'd pull the Monster Power Center and hear what happens, my experience was a big improvement when I pulled mine!!! If there isn't a big improvement upgrade cables than try again.
I need suggestions and ideas in picking a preamp.
Speakers -Sonus Faber Grand piano-home
Amps- Vas Citation Sound 2 Mono-blocks
CD Player - Marantz CD 17-MK ii
Dunlavy speaker cables
monster interconnects
Monster reference power center
Rel Strata III Subwoofer
I am looking to upgrade my Bryston .4B preamp. I have read a lot about the tube sound and so far i like what I hear even though the bryston is SS. Do I have to get a tube preamp to get the most out of my amps? Any suggestions on interconnects that will match my system will be greatly appreciated. I listen mostly to strong female vocals ,some jazz and some classical. I am new at this so if this has been answered before a link will be appreciated.
