i have heard your speakers driven by naim cdx player and naim preamp/amp combo and it was awesome. unsure of the compatability with bel canto amp however.
Pre amp and source suggestions for VR-4jr?
Hi ALL
I am building a stereo that will also do some home theater work. After extensive reading I have come to the conclusion that I will get better sound for my dollar if I use a 2 channel Pre amp and then a home theater processor bypassed together. I am relatively new to this hobby and I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations on a good 2 channel pre amp for use with VR-4jr's and bel canto amplifiers. I don't have any bias for or against tubes, but I have never used them before. I don't mind buying used, and I think for a budget I would like to keep it below 1500-2000$ USD. If I can get great sound for much less, I don't have a burning desire to spend that much if it is not required. I have seen a number of "older" used/demo pieces in stores such as classe and I have no concern buying something a bit older as long as it sounds good. I would like to be able to use balanced XLR connections.
Any Ideas on the pre amp? Or a good universal player for the system?
Thanks you all in advance.
