Interestingly enough, @georgehifi just blasted another poster today for making positive comments on Class-D amplification. That poster is in the process of developing a Class-D amp and George hammers him for promoting a product that he will eventually be selling. In the very same day, as he does often, he promotes the virtues of passive pre-amps. He has sold passives himself for years. He blatantly, and often promotes product categories that he sells in this forum. Apparently it is A-ok for georgie to break his own unwritten rule.
Preamp recommendation
In the market for a new pre-amp and looking for suggestions. I know this is very subjective to one’s tonal qualities so let’s consider all options in the $2k range.
My current system is analog and I have no interest in digital. Currently running VPI Scout, Elac Alchemy PPA-2, Parasound A21 and Q Acoustics 3050i.
I’m leaning towards a used Parasound JC-2 or Wyred4 Sound STP SE, both in the price range. I had a previous post considering the Jolida or Vincent but have decided not to go hybrid based on inconsistent reviews.
Thoughts?
