| Preamp suggestions I use French-made Atoll PR300 with my A21. Used it's in your price range, and has every quality you're looking for. I've never seen products from different manufacturers that work this good together. To me it sounds even better than the Parasounds... | |
| Preamp to match SS Amp, under $2k used If you don't mind Solid State, then try to audition the Atoll PR300. It's an unbelievable match. You'll be amazed by the results. Even better than Parasound's own JC-2 preamp. I have that combo, and for a price and being SS it's unbeatable, IMO. | |

| Atoll v McIntosh v Musical Fidelity v Rega Sebraasch, you won't regret your decision. I don't know what MF amp you have in mind (personally I think they are sterile), in any case Atoll 200 is a terrific peace, and it is very unfair that folks know about it so little. I was auditioning that... | |
| Atoll v McIntosh v Musical Fidelity v Rega Atoll IN200 is a great amp. Very easy on the ears, yet very detailed. Also it's reliable and has excellent built quality. Dealers usually give a few hundreds bucks of discount. With the Mac you'll pay more for the name than for the sound. Personal... |
