Thanks Tireguy,
My speakers are Magnepan 20.1's. I agree with the CD Direct approach, however I play vinyl and listen to FM now and then. Soooo... My interest is still a great pre-amp/CD player combo. I live in northern Michigan and auditioning would be hard at best. My budget is 4k to 8k for the pair.
I've kinda narrowed my choice to the first email; ARC pr / BAT pr or Mac c2200 and CD????.
Anyone please rank my list & include a WHY statement if possible. Unless someone can add something else they really love and why. Thanks to all that can help!
