lets put it this way i just sold my krell-krc-3 so that i could go direct with a wadia, krell-fpb-200 and aerial 10-t's. it is the best sound i have ever heard in my room. as long as you say its for exclusive cd playback you can't go wrong.the preamp is just one more variable in the way. happy listening and let us know what you end with.
ML Aerius I, Moon W-3, Wadia 830
I'm putting together a complete new system for exclusive CD playback. The speakers will definitely be the Martin Logan Aerius I and the amp will be the Sim Audio W-3 high current, low impedance amp. Any reason to add a pre-amp if I go with the Wadia 830? I was thinking about the Classe CP50 or new 47.5 but I'm not sure it will add, maybe subtract from the equation.
