    Soulution 720 (or 725) versus 520

    Anyone have a view on the improvement from the 520 to the 720 (or 725) preamp?

    Paul, this is a little off topic, but what are your plans for a digital source ?

    I guess you already know what I would suggest

    I've been wondering this exact thing.

    I know it's a whole lot of money.

    I'm sure that Aussie from down under can enlighten us since he has a Soulution preamp and loves it.

    Mark, I have a lot of work to do on digital. I know you guys love the Lumin and it's really good. I plan to start with analog after I pick my pre-amp. I listened to MSB, Aurender, etc. but nothing too serious yet on digital.

    Paul:

    MSB and Aurender is a pretty damn good combo...sounds serious to me .

    Hi Guys,

    Could somebody explain the differences between the Soulution 720 and 721?

    Thanks,

    Ken,

    I think that the 720 comes with built in phono where as the 721 is a pure line stage pre amp. Or do I have that backwards? I think it's one or the other.

    Correct Le Roy, the 721 = no phono. (What I have.)
