Old Classe pre-amps vs. new?


I'm looking to match up a Classe pre-amp to my Classe CA-300 amp and was wondering the better choice, the older DR5 or DL5 series, or the newer models, such as the CP47.5 or CP35 series? Any opinions would be appreciated.

I used to own a CP50 and highly recommend it. It was a really great preamp that had incredible resolution for the money. I went through a dozen preamps in that price range and the CP50 stands out as the best IMO.

The only issue with it is the remote battery cover is held down with tiny allen machine-thread screws that can strip without you even noticing....and those remotes are no longer manufactured.
