Thanks Guys for your feedback. I believe I am committed. I just love my speakers so much. I have been using a the NAD Masters M15 since I have owned the Dynaudio Confidence C1s and the Simaudio will be my first stereo pre/amp.
I have not listened to CDs etc like I would like to. I went in to audition a new HT pre/pro to replace my NAD and during the audition I enjoyed the experience so much (listened to a Classe stereo pre/amp). I didn't but these wonderful speakers (my opinion) just for HT and I am ready for the next level.
I research everything to death before I audition. The salesman at the store is strongly suggesting I listen to a used unit they are selling for someone. I believe he stated it was a Scoutmaster and I do not remember the cartridge. A $4500 rig at $2200 I think he said. 18 months old. We will see but I am just trying to be armed with my own opinions thru suggestions and research before I go.
My taste is classic rock, pop and Jazz and R&B. I really have enjoyed listening to some piano and other intrumentals as the C1s are great for this.
I want to check out the Simaudio stereo pre/amp, cleaner and a cartridge are not part of my listed budget.
A short list from the little bit of research.
Music Hall MMF 9.1
Rega P7
Project RM10.1
VPI Classic 1 or 2
VPI Scoutmaster (the used unit)
The VPI Classic seems to get some really excellent reviews here. Whats the diff between Classic 1 and 2?
Thanks guys...
