Hi Friends,
I've got a seven year old system that is still going strong: Maggies I want to keep (MM12s), a Plinius integrated amp (2200i), and a Rotel CD player (RCD-991). I was thinking about getting a separate DAC (like Music Fidelity's X-DACv8) and maybe a preamp (like Music Fidelity's A5CR--although I don't know if it will work with my amp). But I was also considering getting rid of both the CD player and the amp and starting over with the Maggies. What do you think? Let me know and thanks, Andrew

Hello All. New here and, while I know this question has probably been posted in the past, phono preamps at the "budget" level keep appearing and it is impossible to audition them all. I am using a Music Hall MMF-5 turntable, previously mated with a Creek OBH-8. That little preamp is dying and I don't have a lot of money. I am interested in impressions of the preamps listed below. Even better if there are people who have auditioned any of these side by side.

Here is my questions:
Any of you have never try a solid state amplifier with pre-amp LS26 from Audio Research. My system is as follow: Sonus Faber Grand Piano, LS26 and VT100MKIII from AR, Ayre's CD and Siltech's cables. I was thinking buy a solid state amplifier for new sound just for change occasionelly and when I don't have time to warm up my tubes. So what would be a good choice ? I was thinking of Mcintosh mc252 or mc402. I'am opened to your suggestion ! Merci for your time !
