I'm looking for a pre-amp for my home audio set-up. I had a Carver CT-26V Tuner/ Pre-amp, but it's old & not working !!!!
I need enough in-puts & out-puts, to run all of the equipment that I have.
What I have is: (two) Carver A-500X amps, a Magnum Dynalab #102~FM Tuner, an Oracle Delphi Mark V Turntable connected to a Jolida JD-9A phono tube pre-amp, a Teac CD/ Cassette player (all-in-one), & a pair of Senheiser HD-600 headphones. All of this is connected into (two) pairs of Polk Audio Floor Monitor 10's, a J.B.L. Center channel speaker, & a Velodyne SPL-#1200 floor sub,(all in my living room). I also have a sun porch that has another set of book- shelf J.B.L.'s, that I like to play separately, off of this equipment.
As far as I can tell, I need at least (two) outputs for the Carver amps + an out-put terminal for my Velodyne floor sub, & about "4" input Auxiliary terminals for the rest of the gear? I'd also like this pre-amp to have switchable (A)~(B) & (A&B) speaker knobs, so that I can play this system either in my living room or on my sun porch, or both at the same time...
I'd like to spend (at least) around $1,500.00 for this new pre-amp.
I'm basically a two~channel type of guy, but I'm willing to try tubes or a 3.1,~ 5.1, or 7.1 system if it works with what I have ??? I just love vinyl L.P.'s & FM Radio. I guess I'm "Old School," looking for a fit...
If anyone out there knows of a system that is compatable for this set-up, I'm listening & buying...
Do you still have the manual or remote. I'm looking to buy.
I posted a reader letter under my name, and should have identified it as such. Sorry for the confusion.
With so many equipment, I'd wait for the San Francisco's good folks at Parasound to release their much anticipated HALO C3. It has ALL the inputs anyone could ever need.
And it will be a BEAUTIFUL piece of audio engineering at a reasonable price ( $ 4,000 - I guess ).
I will wait for it.
2010 will be a very long year...
