I just bought 4 S4 speakers and a Parasound HCA-800II amp for $100.00. Now all I need is a decent pre-amp.

    Bragging?

    Decent speakers, decent amp - I never seem to be in the right place at the right time for the killer deals. I figured I got an ok deal though...

    I am not familiar with the S4's but I didn't really seem like you were bragging much if at all. Now if you said your system is really awesome and sounds better than ................... you'd be bragging I think.
    What are you thinking about regarding a pre-amp?

    Can I brag a little too? I bought 3 new NIB Pio BDP51fd for $149.00 at BB when they have them on closed out. MSRP $599.00. After updated the firmware they are awesome Bluray/ DVD/CDP with Wofson Dac. It's the best purchase for me in 2009.

    A parasound pre would be a good match.
    An Adcom GFP-750 would be a great match.
    Check audiogon often for some good deals on some used preamps.
