Looking for recommandations for a preamp that could be a good match for canary 330 mono, the rest of my system consist of Proac d15, rega cd, acoustic zen cables. I listen mainly to jazz, baroque, modern folk, world beat... Well, concerning my budget i would like to stay below $2000.00, maybe a passive line stage be good, the canary have an input impedance of 140,000 ohms. Thanks, Robert, Montreal
The Canary amps have high input sensitivity and voltage gain making them an excellent match for passive line stages. I have the CA-160 monoblocks and am using a Sonic Euphoria PLC with great results.
I am using a Placette PLS with my CA330s and it works fine. I have all the bass extension and dynamics that anyone could ever want. I have Coincident Total Victory speakers that go to 26 Hz so I can really experience the bass. I am using Tara Labs low capacitance interconnects between the Placette and the Canary amps and that makes a difference. Without the low capacitance cables frequency response could suffer with the passive stage.
