| Preamp for Halo A21 and/or B&K ST2140 I am not suggesting a preamp.But wanted to let you know that you need to choose one which has a XLR out to the A21. The Parasound A21 sounds in a completely different league when connected via XLR to the preamp. This has been my experience in my s... | |

| Agoners: Need Advice! Have 3K to spend on an Amp, what do I do with no way to audition? IF you want a brand new one, then you should simply buy a Parasound A21 and spend rest of the money for buying music or upgrading other components in your system. | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? @gregkohanmim,I spent ~35 years in software engineering and can hear the "code" in digital music reproduction and was always of the opinion that code was obsolete as soon as it shipped and should always be improved on.This is a completely new one.... | |
