Buy a used Conrad Johnson PV-10 for around $500.00. I had one hooked to a Carver M-500 power amp for a while with great results. That was before I started spending way too much money on this hobby.

Newbie Pre-Amp choices ?
A friend of mine has given me a Carver TFM-35X, this will be my first power amp. I would like to know a general opinion of this amp. Should I purchase a pre-amp to compliment it & what would that be or should I purchase another amp & match that ?
What would be a good basic first choices. I record live rock & roll(i.e. jam bands/jazz concerts) on AKG & Schoeps microphones. I like good imaging & a warm sound that will reproduce the bass properly. Thanks for any help you can provide.
PS- I see this as another expensive hobby ;)
