I just went to a dealer and took home a CJ CT-6 for a test. My first impression is quite good. It is less punchy than my Klyne, but it looks a tiny bit more musical...I don't know. I will try it more and with different types of music and let you know. Thanks
Choice of preamplifier: help
Here is my system:
Power amp: EAR 890;
Preamp: Klyne SK-6;
Speakers: Quad ESL 57 (or Reference 3a DiCapo i, depending on the mood);
CD-Player: Rega Apollo;
Turntable: Denon with Denon Cartridge 103-R
I am quite happy overall, but I am thinking about upgrading the preamp. Money is not a hard constraint, but I would like to stay below or around $5K for a good used one. Considering CJ CT-6, Shindo Monbrison, new Klyne 7 series, and CAT ultimate MK2. Which one would you go for? Any other suggestions?
Just to give you a sense of my taste, I love detail and good imaging, but I also like the liquidity that even the best SS preamps cannot deliver as much as tube ones (that's why I may sell my Klyne, despite it's a very good one). Thanks.
