I’ve tried to find some answers to this query and all I find myself doing is going through 100’s of pages of tube rolling!!!
I need some definitive answers – LD MKIII/ LD MKIV as a pre amp – anybody using either as a pre amp??
How good is the pre amp? Is it articulate? I know the obvious thing most people say is that it gives you a warmer tubier sound but that doesn’t mean much to me - i need to know finer details.
IMHO, I’d rather know what’s lacking rather than what it gives so I understand what to look for when upgrading. Also how does the MKIII/MKIVSE compare to other solid state preamps that cost around $450/ £300???
So...I’m looking for a power amp –
I want to match the price of the power amp accordingly so I’ve set myself a budget of $450 /£300 . This would mean my future upgrade to a MKIV SE would benefit from its use also.
The power amps I have decided to look into are the following:
Cyrus 6 power – used £300-£400
Quad 99 Power – Actually £600 just seen it for £350
Exposure 2010s2 power amp - £375
Myriad z106 - £360
Can anybody tell me if they have experience in using a similar set up or if there are any other potential power amps in this price range that match well with the LD’s??
I don’t mind used ones, so if anybody knows any bargains they have seen on ebay like £1000 power amps going for £300ish or whatever that would be great.
I look forward to responses!
