Thanks for all of your input. I'll have to do more research on the MiniMax. Does anybody know if the Quad 24 has a remote? Not a huge deal, but convenience is an issue. I'm not too worried about polarity inversion, I can't hear it in my room (unless I use headphones, and even then not every time). The high output impedance could be an issue. My Cary amp doesn't have the highest sensitivity. I already have to crank my Linn preamp past it's unity gain to get realistic volume in my small room. A high output impedance preamp would make for an even worse voltage transfer...
I think I want a tube preamp
Hi kids, I'm hoping for some advice. I have Linn Wakonda that I think has always been the weakest link in my system, plus I've been curious about a tube preamp for a while. Does anybody have any experience with the Quad QC-24 vs the Cary SLP-88? I am on a very limited budget, and would have to sell the Wakonda or trade it in. I need to keep it at $1200 max. I'm using a Linn Karik as a source, and a Cary SLA-70b Sig with KT90's driving ProAc response 2.5's. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
