I second the Conductor Simply 2 recommendation. We replaced our Joule Electra LA300ME (a very nice preamp) with a Simply 2 and the difference is startling. The Joule is darker, warmer, whereas the Simply 2 has a more detailed, more refined & clearer sound. Paired with the Art Audio PX25, the Simply 2 moves vocalists & singers out into the room front & center; with noticeably more midrange detail. Individual notes are better defined. Price has increased to $7999 at this writing, still quite a bargain considering its sonic qualities.
preamp recommendation for bedroom set amp
Hi,
I am using a 20 watt art jota set amp in my bedroom system which uses a digital marantz 10N universal player via rca IC and reference 3a episode (efficient 92db) speakers.
while the art jota has volume control I think would get better sound still with a preamplifier. I would also like to have a remote and a headphone jack in the preamp.
can someone recommend a preamp for a set amp ideally with a remote and headphone jack but not required.
thanks
Michael
