Everyone,
Thanks for the advice. There were several good suggestions in there. I have considered the Cary preamps, but the ones I listened to in the local Hifi store were a bit too warm and relaxed. Imaging and detail was great, but the music seemed small and withdrawn. Granted, I have not yet heard the slp 50 in my system only as a demo with a V12.
The EVS attenuators sound really interesting! At $350 for a pair, I think they are definitely worth a listen.
The Eastern Electric Minimax also sounds inriguing. According to their website, my local Hifi dealer is a distrubutor, but he never mentioned them in my last foray. I'll have to ask about them too.
Again, thanks to all for the excellent advice!
Regards,
Turin
