Which Preamp will go well with Mag 3.6R ?


Hello, newbie here...

Pretty much set for speakers and Amp. (Magnepan 3.6R is set.)

1. Amp - Between Bryston 4B SST, or Classe CAM 350 - which amp would YOU choose? (I'm 80% leaning toward Bryston)

2. Should I go with tube or solid for preamp? (I am leaning toward tubes though...) Which preamp will match well with above set?

3. While at it,,, Which CD player do you recommend?

4. Due to limited budget, I am thinking about buying used equipments.
What sould I look for ? or be careful of in buying used equipments?

I've set $5000 budget for CD and preamp

Thanks in advance.

jonk - About the DAC, I would recommend a tubed version. I have a Scott Nixon tube DAC that I think is a wonderful piece of equipment. Mdht owners also rave about their DACs.


OK, I sure want Maggie to fully come alive,,,
14 Beast it is !! (Glad I asked...)

I need to learn more about DAC...where is the good place to start?
I agree w/the MHDT tube DAC, I loved the Havana that I had. Just connect this to your Apple computer, Toslink better than USB, and play LossLess files. This will make you very happy.
I'm not clear. You say $5000 for CD and pre - how much do you have budgeted for an amp? or is that included in the $5000?
