I agree with ebm. I have a Phi 200 and am using a Shindo Monbrisson, which is a great sounding combination along the lines you're looking for. However, the gain from the Shindo is so high that I have to use 12 db attenuators at the amp to be able to use the volume control from the Shindo in its best range. Using a nice VAC preamp like one of the Renaissance series should be a nice match and give you the sound you're looking for.
Preamp for Vac phi 200
Hello to the board,
Currently own Ayon S3 powering my VAC 200 and Parsifal Ovations. Would like To upgrade my preamp and maybe get a little warmer sound. I have considered a CJ et5 and a Cary slp 05.
would really appreciate some input on my choices, as well as some other possible upgrades?
Thanks
Peter
