I am in your other post. I use a Cambridge A3i in my home office/den. I have not heard better at that price point; and I've tried a lot of them including NAD, which are also pretty nice, just not as lively as Cambridge. Plus the A3i has a decent phono section, if you want to play with vinyl. I have listened to Acurus; very nice for the money, but it did not convince me to replace the Cambridge which is a lot cheaper.
ok, now i just need to pick one
i'm looking for a new amp/ preamp, which one is best used: acurus dia 100, cambridge audio a3, or nad c520? does any one know of any amps similar to the acurus that can bypass the use of a preamp?
