@jasonbourne71 while I do agree that XLR isn't better for home use, Bryston 4BSST is fully balanced amplifier and it would benefit from balanced wires with +6db
Same applies for 3B
Need new pre amp
Back in 1992 I bought a new bryston 4b sst amp and a linn pretek preamp my preamp gave out and the left channel is toast. Now i have a rel s/510 and a pair of dyn audio special 40 speakers . Now I have a linn lp12 sondeck turn tabel with a linn adikt cartridge I play a lot of vynal as well as stream quobus or listen to my cd's I have a tascam ss-cdr1 and a blue tooth reciever that picks up from my phone and sends it to the preamp now am I best to have the preamp repaired or go with a new preamp. And do I go tube or sold state I am looking for a warm organic sould because of vynal and if I go new pre amp I want xlr out to the amp at least 2 xlr inputs 4 rca analog input and 2 digital inputs phono input would be nice but not required I can get a phono preamp if needed thank you Mal11963

@immatthewj They only way I have to tell is from the reviews on my DAC (wadia 321) and Amp (Quad Artera Stereo) and both have indicated they are fully balanced design. |
If I was on a budget I would look at Rogue RP-7. If I wanted solid state it would be Jeff Rowland Capri I have been very happy with my Audio Research. I started with LS, now I am with REF 6SE. I recently toured the factory - I cannot see how any manufacturer could be more meticulous about crafting a preamp. Just incredible sounding and built. Interesting that the highest end manufacturers of speakers all send samples to ARC for their evaluation.
