pre's and amps that match well with Electro EMC-1

I have an Electrocompaniet EMC-1 MK-II CD player. Like myself, many others are very pleased with its performance.

My question is: what are you folks matching with this cdp for pre and power amplification...solid state, tubes, combination?

What do you feel works best and why?

Also, what is your preference in music types?

I primarily listen to rock/jazz. I am looking for input incase I should make changes in my other gear.

Thanks

Hi Judith....
I too use my MkII with all-Pass Aleph P and 2 monos. Exquisite. DO RUN BALANCED, whatever you do! Even Electrocompaniet strongly recommends this...and it's not about the +6dB....
Despite highly-linear speakers in the nearfield (Parsifal Encores in an 8' triangle), this system is VERY natural, non-digital-sounding, and thus forgiving of older digital transfers WITHOUT loss of musical detail or HF air. Can't imagine the new "UP" mod could be better! Any comments from the brave?
