I am putting together a system for a friend. I have purchased a Aloia 13.01i amp and now am looking for a CD/pre-amp combination. I have a budget of $2,000.00. Speakers are still up in the air, but I am leaning towards Silverline. All responses appreciated
Tim, thanks for thinking of me and my Primamania, but, lo and behold: NO volume control. Got's to go the Capitole for that. Way out of budget, there. You've heard of that player, haven't you? peace, warren
I've owned both the Cary CD-308 and Theta Miles(balanced version) and both have sounded great via built in volume control.
The Cary sells for about $1500 new or $1000-1100 used and the Theta sell for $800-$1200 used. BTW, the Theta balanced version is more expensive and supposedly much better (even when using RCA output) because it has double the amount of DAC chips of the standard version.
