The suggestion of reviewing a preamp by Audio Horizons makes good sense. I auditioned some of the names you mentioned along with a Audio Research Ref III and easily chose a fully tricked out Audio Horizons. Hope this helps. Steve
Preamp Options
Hi,
I am interested in upgrading my integrated musical fidelity kw500 and replacing it with a pair of mono blocks and a preamp.
I am looking at the following pre amps:
Lamm ll2 reference
Lamm ll2.1 deluxe
Von Gaylord uni
Allinic l-3000
Audion quattro 2 chassis
If I go with the lamm, I will probably pair with lamm mono blocks. If I go with the uni, I will probably pair with the uni mono blocks.
I currently have Von Gaylord chinchilla interconnects and chinchilla speaker cables. I have some shunyata power cords and a hydra 8. I currently use b&w 803d speakers that are bi-wired. I listen primarily to indie rock and vocals using a vpi Aries 2 extended with a sound smith smmc1 cartridge.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Yuri
