HELP: HT Pre-amp Choices

63.202.10.110

Posted by bnlitin on January 31, 2001 at 22:08:11

I am looking for a pre-amp (around $2,000 USD) new or used, to replace my Yamaha RXV-995 receiver. I will be using the Parasound HCA 2205AT power amp to drive my Magnepan MG1.6 and MMGs planar speakers.

I've narrowed down the pre-amp choices to:

Parasound 2500u
B&K Ref 30
Anthem AVM2
(used Lexicon MC-1)
(used Proceed AVP)

I don't care for all the DSP modes, but I want clean DTS and Dolby Digital decoding. Also, since I will be using the Pre-amp's D/A for CDs and DVDs, I'd like one with the best D/A converters. I also want audiophile quality 2-channel sound (since 80% of my listening is music).

What should I buy?

Thanks
Boris
