Preamp choice and would like your opinion
Howdy all. I have a few different choices for a preamp that I would like to run by you. My source is an AUS STX Essence two channel card with separate hp amp. These are my choices:
1) Audio Experience Symphonies Plus Preamp (Tube)
2) Pioneer VSX-D1S Receiver from the early 90's (Has pre outs)
3) NAD 3150 Integrate amp from the late 80's (Has pre outs)
I will be sending the signal to a NAD 2400THX to drive a refurbished/upgraded pair of Allison Four large bookshelf speakers.
I have read great things about all of these units but, in the time it takes to swap the components and sit back to compare sonic signatures, I think I am forgetting what the last set up sounded like!
Help me audioreviewkenobi, you're my only hope! Thanks in advance for your time.
