Wadia : what amp / preamp ?

Wadia WT-2000 tweaked by Great Northern Sound; Placette Dual Active Mono preamp; Innersound ESL Monoblocks

Your amp choice should be dictated more by which speakers you use than what your source is, I would say.

Regardless, you can't go wrong with the Placette preamp.

Spent HOURS and HOURS at a great dealer trying to resolve this issue a while back. Ended up not buying Wadia (25/20) because I could never find a preamp that didn't veil the sound...bought Levinson 36/37 and Classe' pre. BUT...FWIW the S series Levinson pre was by far the most transparent I heard during this audition. Associated equip was ML 33's, top line Cardas cabling, and Hales Concept 8's so I assume nothing downstream was a limiting factor in the analysis.

If money's no object get the Levinson No. 32. Otherwise do like John Atkinson and get a 380S and a PS Audio 300 Ac regenerator.
