The Dude Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 hey folks, since i have got involved into this sickness the past year I have built my ht with something that i am happy with in the house that i am in now. The problem is that since everyone one eles has taken over the room for movie watching, and i recently got my turntable going alls i want to do is jam some tunes but i cant in this room. So i decided to build a second room for my listening pleasure, i Know i diffently want to give the seperates a chance. but i dont know were to start ive always dreamed of a mcintosh or possibly a marantz system. So if theres any one of these brands that someone recomends to start with i could use your advice. I do have a power amp that i think would work for know so ide like to start with a pre-amp something vintage that i could hook up my turntable and cassatte deck to. appreciate all the help i can get. Also my power amp has 1/4", balanced, and regular rca plugs on it so it has lots of options. duder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Visit audiogon.com to see what brands are available on the market, then go hunting. I started with a Denon receiver as a Preamp that worked just fine for a few years then I graduated to a tube Preamp and wow has it been fun.

rcarlton Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Can't go wrong with McIntosh. However, you may suffer from sticker shock. Could try Outlaw. They have some killer sales going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
