Thanks guys! Greatly appreciate the feedback. In reading thru the forums am wondering where the Joule LA 100, and Blue Circle falls in as compared to Mod Wright and the Audio Illusion. Again thanks. Dave
Pre-Amp Match
I'm looking to replace my conrad johnson CV12L pre amp. Although it has a beautiful, lush sound which works very well with jazz and standards, it sounds less so with rock which comprises half of my cd collection.
My question is that I'm looking for a pre to replace the CJ, $1K range, that would be less old tubey sound but retain its tube character. Looking at makes such as TAD, Rogue, Cayin, or similar. One concern is that I will go in the other direction creating an overly bright, forward sound.
Considering my system components any opinions, advice or alternatives would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave
System:
CJ PV12
Ody Stratos Amp
GMA Europa Speakers
Anti Cables
MAC Silver ICs
Denon 3901 CDP
Wadia IDoc
Dac2
