    Hey here's a question.....alright we already know an Adcom is a damn good cheap amp. What about a damn good cheap pre/pro? What would be some suggestions? And while I'm asking questions is it better to use your DVD player to listen to CD's or a dedicated CD player?

    Well I was wanting to be pointed in the right direction of where to look. I dont know how to use this damn search all that well. And how are you supposed to learn anything from experienced people if you dont ask questions?
