There is a reason why Classic preamps like ARC SP3a, Sp10 SP11 CJ PV5, and others retain high resale value and tend not to stay on the market very long when offered for sale. Because they sound great and are still very competitive with current equipment. A full VanAlstine PAS3 is also very good. Audible Illisions M3 and M3a are true classics and easy to find.
old high end preamps..
Proceed AVP Cary Cinema 11 Bryston SP1.7
I have had all but the Cary. which do you think would sound best for music in 2.1 ? I have the Bryston now. cant really find any flaw in it except I cant tell where volume is with lights down and screen is hard to read from 6ft away. Bryston sounds good.
I am actually getting a Cary Cinema 11 this week. I know if a recapped AVP . I like the looks of either of these over the Bryston.
