a audio research pre would be best or a number other high end tube pre-amps. i've on several occasions the wadia 850 & 860 with the vt100.sounds really good but you need to get the cabling right. but its alot easier to do jutice to that amp with a good pre-amp[ls-5 mk11 or 111,ls-15].but i can't imagine a adcom anything sounding that good. please do right by that wonderful amp.
Preamp Recommendations for VT100m2.
Hi All, I have heard that to truly get the best out of Audio Research amps you must use their preamps too. Currently I run a VT100m2 either directly from an XA7ES CD player or via a passive Adcom GFP-750. The sound quality is very close. Has anyone had any experience mixing and matching AR amps with AR preamps verses other preamps ? I only use CD's.
