Hi
Would like to see if anyone here could give me a few extra ideas for a suitable preamp?
Bought a used Parasound A21 in good condition about a month ago and I really like it!
I live in Sweden and here we only have one store that carries Parasound in the whole country, although I like that particular dealer and bought stuff there before It would be nice to see if anyone on here that uses the A21 can give some feedback, good or bad about matching preamp!
First my system is for two-channel only and at the moment consists of:
Klipsch Rf7ll
2 x BK electronis Monolith subs
Parasound A21
Copland CDA823 (modded with a digital in to be used as DAC also)
Rega rp3
At the moment I have a Musical Fidelity A3.2cr as preamp.
The A3.2cr is nice, never sounds harsh and are built like a tank but it only have one pair of Pre-out and something tells me that there might be a better match than Parasound and Musical Fidelity?
I know that the easy way would be to buy a Parasound P5 or JC-2, unfortunately the JC-2 are out of budget and nearly never turns up on the used market here.
I used to own a P5 with a different power amp a while back and think it was good considering the price, didn't care for the on-board DAC or the Riaa-stage in the P5 since the separate ones I have was better.
I have read about Schiit Freya that seems nice, I have considered going with a tube-pre.
So if someone here that also like the A21 and heard or own something they like please let me know
