Also forgot to mention my newest addition to my setup which are still breaking in, but I am using JMLabs 937be speakers. I should probably also add the VTL 2.5 and Cary SL98P to my short list as they both have the features I am looking for and are in the same price range $1500-$2500 new/used. Thanks.
Preamp with HT pass & Phono to match Pass x-250
Hi everyone. Looking for help in determining which preamp to put on a short list for my current setup. I have a Sunfire TGII pre/pro, Marantz SA-8260, Parasound 2250AT, and Pass X-250. This is a combination HT and stereo setup. I would very much like to get into vinyl (looking at either P3 or VPI Scout) so a good phono section is a must along with remote and HT pass through/ Unity gain. On my current short list I have the Rogue Magnum 99 w/Phono, Audio Research SP16, and Musical Fidelity A5cr. I am not dead set on tubes over solid state, but would like feedback from those of you with experience with these products or other recommendations especially combined with the Pass. Oh, by the way, I listen to a little of everything - Rock, Country, Blues & Jazz. Keb Mo and Anna Nalick are currently spending allot of time in my CD player. Thanks
