Putting this out there for some feedback- i recently upgraded my outlaw system- an older RR2250 receiver with Outlaw M200 mono blocks driving Focal chorus series 836V speakers. i have an mid-entry Pro-ject turntable upgraded with a Dynavector 10x5. For digital, I have a Marantz network audio player- NA8005. I have never been thrilled with the sound staging. So I replaced the outlaw mono blocks with PS Audio M700's. It's better, but not great. Heres the Q: would replacing the outlaw receiver as preamp (to what?) would make BIGGEST improvement to sound stage and imaging. should I just go with the PS Audio Gain Cell? thoughts? Is there a clever pre-amp selection (under $3K) that would add some magic? thanks!
Did you keep the m700s. Curious as I have the outlaw mono and was looking at upgrading ps audio or parasound. I'm expecting a big difference but it doesn't sound like it is?
I ran the M700s with an Aethetix Calypso with fantastic results. I just last week went back to my Modwright integrated for a change of pace, still has great tone and response but sound stage has shrunk, I will be moving back soon.
