|   Preamp suggestions for NHT 3.3... | flup
Oct 10, 2003 10:36 AM | | hi there!
i am considering purchasing a good (tube?) preamp for my NHT 3.3. My present Classe surround pre/pro is somehow too bland, dark and grainy (especially with louder, complex music). Looking for more dynamics, openess and a more palpable presence.
Source is California Audio Labs CL2500, power amp for the time being Classe CAV 150, cables Audioquest Gibraltar and Anaconda. Tks for looking and hopefully some suggestions. |

Its the Classe SSP 25.
The California (for music)is only used via analogue connections. In this case it would be the Classe´s DAC at work...?
Tks.

Try to use digital connection. If I remember it correctly, it can decode HDCD too. Compare which DAC you like better before spending money on new preamp.
