To me, most of the great preamps are tube preamps. The best way to go is to get a tube pre with balanced output. i would rather use a passive preamp than to use a SS one.
CJ ART vs. ML Ref 32 vs. Boulder 1012
I'm looking to upgrade my Line Stage and Phono Stage, as well as add a DAC to my system. I'm considering all three units listed, as well as others. Please note that single box front end vs. separate components is not an issue.
I also realize that all three are top shelf units above are different animals. Any insight or recommendations would be appreciated. Additional considerations: Rowland Coherence & Lamm Products
Current system:
Pass X1 Line Stage
Pass X600 Monos
B&W N802 (Probable upgrade to Avalon Eidolon or Wilson Max)
Electrocompaniet EMC-1
SME 10 Table
