I've also heard great things about SPL, but haven't heard it myself.
Pre amp recommendations
My current setup
Gr Research NX studios with 2 subs
PS Audio M700’s amps
Denefrips Pontus dac
Bluesound Node. Streamer
Anthem AVM 60 surround processor
i have good cables and XLR where possible
So, I’ve been upgrading recently and I have to keep my AV system integrated with my 2 channel system. I am very satisfied with my system now but I keep wanting to improve it.
I believe my Anthem is the weak link here.
I’m looking to install a dedicated 2 channel pre amp with theater bypass. I’ve been looking at Musical Fidelity M6s, PS Audio Gain Cell, and Parasound P5 or P6.
Would this be a worthy addition?
I have a Parasound 2100 pre laying around but I feel it wouldn’t be an improvement over the Anthem AVM 60 processor.

@dahodevil Since your amps have balanced inputs, for best results a balanced preamp should be used too. The advantage of balanced line is the cables can be completely neutral (and thus musical in every way) but to do that the preamp has to support the balanced line standard, known as AES48. I've found that many balanced preamps in high end audio don't support the standard despite being balanced. So it would be a good idea to ask the manufacturer if it is. If they don't seem to know what you're talking about, move on... |
