I would buy a 2nd hand 17, a simply wonderful tube pre. I saw it expressed by a number of 'gonners, that the 17 was 70% of the ACT2 performance and the 16, maybe 75/80%. Unless you have a reference level system, I can't see you need more than the 17. Incidentally, the Premier 10/14 are near the 17 in performance and very cheap 2nd hand
Rogue 66 Magnum vs. CJ Premier 17 LS
I have had my 66 for a number of years and I am happy with it. It really is a simple matter of upgrade fever
Do you out there feel this move would result in significant sonic benefits or would my "upgrade money" be better spent elsewhere.
I listen to rock and jazz primarily.
Here's the rest of my gear:
Cary 303/100, the 66, Odyssey Stratos and VSA VR 4 jr's.
Vh Audio pc's and ic's and Alpha Core MI 2 spkr. cables.
Thank you!
