Preamp Recommendation For My System


I have an Ayre C-5xe mp universal sacd/cd player, Cary

SA-200.2 amplifier, CJ PV-10 Al Pre-amp, and Selah Tempesta

Speakers. Both the speaker and cd player are more on the

neutral sounding side of the ledger, with the amp and pre-

amp on the warmer side of neutral. I am looking to upgrade

the pre-amp and considering these pre-amps:

1)CJ-ET-3
2)Modwright Ls 100
3)Audio Horizons 2.3
4)SAS Audio 11A

Any thoughts on which one of these would best fit my

system?

Don't make a move until you've taken the Audio Horizons for a test drive.Company still offers free home trial.It is in a different league.
Upon warming up the musical presentation is emotionally immediate.It is not an AR or a CJ sound,rather it is very satisfying in its presentation of the entire musical landscape.It brings an utter sense of poise to the music,a layer of timing and texture of presence and aliveness that is seductive.Suggest you pore over the Audio Horizons thread on this forum for more particulars and access the latest professional review for other opinions.
