Can you name a preamp with the ..........

Hi Dan,

Please don't worry, I am taking this all in and love the discussion that flows from my initial post. I could easily go for a C1100 and maybe even MC2301's. I am a little all over the place. I love to see everyone's opinion here so I actually encourage threads getting a little OT because I learn so much.

:)

Joe.......My apology.I did not mean for my initial post about my preamp to side track your original post and thread. There are so many other premium preamplifiers to talk about.

DONE!
 
I'm working on it. Beautiful pairing for sure. I wish they had a solid state version of the C1100 :)

Randy,

The Ayre combo is out of this world great. I don't need anything else, but old habits die hard.

You crack me up :)... so if you got to scratch an itch.... how about a wonderful classic ARC VT50, recently refurbished and retubed at the ARC factory AND an amazing meticulously hand built by Nelson Pass himself, First Watt F6. I mean what a combo :)...

So did I peek your interest :D... scratch that itch :yahoo1:...
 
I don't want that itch turninig into a major infection. :disbelief:

Oh, by the way, back on topic... if pure sound quality, imaging, accuracy, musicality... if fancy looks and features don't matter... I still say I will take the Wired 4 Sound STP-SE against most competitors, price be dammed. And to step it even higher, add the Stage 2 upgrade...

chap i know had one of these on demo recently with active speakers and was raving about it . must get to hear one sometime
 
I know Joe used one for a while and was thoroughly impressed. At some point I have to get mine upgraded to Stage 2. It is so good that I have a hard time believing that my old ears will be able to hear the difference, but everyone tells me it will be that much better...
