tom b. 57 Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 If you want try tubes, look for a used 1980's Conrad-Johnson pre. The old ones are full-function (balance controls, mono switch, phono section, etc.), are nicely made, look good and are pretty much warhorses. You can pick up a PV-3 or PV-6 for $300 or so and for a couple of hundred more a PV-5 or PV-7, both of which are REALLY nice and have yourself a ball. I own or have owned a handful of them and they're really a bargain in the used market . . . I was offered a PV-3 for $350.00 but after looking at pics. and realizing that I may want more choices for sources I chose to pass. I would like to find something that can accommodate at least 6 sources, tuner, 2 tape sources, cd, turntable or 2. I would just like to have those options available. I was also thinking that good ss preamps would be more attainable in this price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Songer Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I like soft, dark and lush. Not for everyone, but it sure as heck floats my boat . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom b. 57 Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 Let me elaborate, I have a Denon DVD2910 that I use strictly for 2 channel audio, two turntables( don't necessarily have to be hooked up at the same time), tape deck, equalizer, tuner, and an 8 track deck if I so choose to use. I would just like to be able to have these options. Does that sound like too much? I really don't know. Does this make me an HT guy in denial?

tom b. 57 Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 The reason I am thinking seriously about the Sunfire is, the reviews I have read at audio review.com have all been very good and for the $400.00 price tag I thought it may be a step in the right direction. Of course, eventually The Mac. equipment will come my way. But until that time comes I just want to play and upgrade as I do so. Compromise, that dirty word.
