So I got a pair of Linn Keilidh for stereo only was planing to use my current AVR the 709 and one of the amps's.
Now I find myself looking for a nice preamp to use it with the Parasound for the linn's so I dont have to be changing cables every time I want to listening to music.
I will use the Oppo as the source, looking at Emotiva, Adcom, Halo and Marantz preamps and others. Damm is it not easy to stop once you start............is therr a place for us like AA....LOL

Cheers

    Im happy with my Marantz. I also like my Rotel. B&K makes a solid preamp.

    You should look at B&K
