Nad C165BEE is another option, and Parasound is coming out with the P5 this summer.
Looking for a Nice Simple Good Sounding Preamp...
I`m looking for a preamp with two RCA inputs, one for a Phono Stage and one for a CD player that has two outputs to drive the amps and that`s it.
I like the idea of something like the Lightspeed but I`m not sure it will work for me.
To help, here`s what I`m working with:
I have Revel F52 (87.5db) speakers powered by a 90/100 watt Rogue ST90 (KT120`s) tube amp.
I`m using a Dayton SA1000 amp to power a Revel Ultima Sub-15 subwoofer.
Currently I'm using a PS Audio GCPH phono stage straight into the Rogue and I`m liking it alot but I want to try other Phono Stages and most do not allow straight to amp hookup.
Also, I just bought a CD recorder to copy vinyl with that`s why I need two inputs.
If the Lightspeed won`t work, what will thats along the same lines...Nice Simple and Good Sounding ??

Guys..thanks for pitching in,really, but the 'little light bulb' just turned on ! Seeing that I really only listen to vinyl and always have (aside from a year or so way back in the mid 80`s). It seems to me that I can use the Lightspeed and simply unplug the phono stage from it and plug in the CD player whenever I want to, no need then for another switch box/preamp in the system. Does that sound reasonable ? |
Two RCA inputs, two outputs, and that's it. I don't have any experience with their products, however, here it is. http://www.ciaudio.com/products/VPC3 If you google "passive preamp" some similar units can be found. |
