Whats up all?

I was reading this thread over in avs and found it to be Intresting. As alot of you know, I have been searching for the "right" preamp for me.

I figured if anyone was looking for a current model preamp, this is a cool read.

    Since when did audio become difficult?
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    The B&K is looking good. I really wish NAD would speed up with their Master series they are not going to have it out till the 1st part of the new year, I would have liked to hear their opion with that in the mix.

    That depends on your point of view. This time around, I want a preamp that covers my needs. Logically I want something better then what I have now and want it to last a couple years.

    Difficult? For me everything I buy is. I have to test it, run with it, walk around with it, smell it a few times, see it in different lighting,etc.

    I'm Difficult, not the audio.

    Thanks Dan for the lead to a great thread. I have my LSi's in boxes while I shop for a preamp for them. Good luck in your search.

    QFT... Lots of waiting these days for newer tech. Oh well, doing the research helps pass the time for all of us!!
