Have you heard of Musical Fidelity A5cr preamp with phone stage and home theater bypass with Dual mono design. Matched great with CJ MV60SE (tube) and 2 different Rotel SS amps (1080 200w and 2 bridged 980 amps 125w stereo and 300+w as bridged/mono amps). I decided to go integrated (MF M6I) and upgraded to next level. New was $3000 and used 1100-1300. Had for $1100 but ad expired.
