PREAMPLIFIER UPGRADE QUESTION
My system consists of the following:
1. Martin Logan Impressions 11A
2. Rogue RP-1 preamplifier
3. Lumin U@ mini streamer with Chord Qutest DAC.
4. Bryston 4B3 Cubed power amplifier
I just purchased the Bryston amplifier and it has brought my speakers to life. From dull and listless to vibrant and alive.
I would like to upgrade my preamp and my three choices are as follows:
1. Rogue Audio RP-9-tubes
2. Bryston BR-19 which is fully balanced.
3. Conrad Johnson ET6 or ET6SE
My cables are Cardas Clear Cygnus
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
@audphile1 My suggestion to be made, and now one that is given a substantiation by your own report, is to seek out Valve Exchanges that are recognised to work very well with the RC1 Schematic. I have had a experience on a few occasions doing this, and the end result was remarkable. A $1600 Amp + $400ish in Exchange Valves, might just convince the Amp is worthwhile staying on with and keep $7K in reserve. |
