A tube preamp might be a really nice move. I would audition it if possible- to make sure it plays nicely with the other components.
Is getting a new pre-amp the right upgrade path?
Hi everyone - over the last few years I have built a moderate system and tweaked it along the way. I love my Magnepan MG12QRs since I have a small listening room. They are driven by a Rotel RB 991 and a Rotel RC 995 pre-amp, both with upgraded power cords (retrofit IEC connection). Sources are a heavily modified Rega RP3 with Zu Audio DL103 and Music Hall Speed Control. Phono preamp is a Bellari VP 130 and MT 502. I am looking at the Primaluna Prologue Premium as my next possible upgrade in this chain to give it even more air. Is this the best course of action? Or should I opt for changing the speakers to Magnepan 0.7i? Or replace the turntable with a Rega Planar 6? I’d very much welcome any input .
