I have decided to get the SA-103 for power duties, but currently deciding on a preamp.Any recommendations for good synergy? I have Dynaudio C1, with a Marantz SA11-S2 as a source. It could be either solid state or tube.
Thanks guys, was actually looking at ARC LS17/27, Modwright LS36.5/LS100, Plinius M8/Tautoro to be specific. Could not find any reviews on their pairing with the SA103. Also wondering if a tube pre could be too warm with the Plinius.
I used a Aesthetix Claypso signature with a Plinius sa-50 MkIII. Really nice. Still have the Plinius but using an Atlas for primary amp. The aesthetix has 2 gain settings. I used the default lower setting.
An older Audio Research might be too warm but the newer ones and BAT tube pre's were a good match for my Plinius SA-100 MKIII when I had it. I think a good tubed pre would sound very nice.
I currently have this set-up, Plinius SA103, Audio Horizon preamp 2.1nB, Dynaudio C1. The AH preamp IMHO worked really well with my set-up. AH also has free audition. Good luck.
