Recent acquisition of very very nice IRS Betas. Like, last night....I made the decision to build a front end from scratch...
I am going with a Sonic Frontiers Power 2 (sovtek KT88s) Possibly Transparent Audio Reference cables to the mid/highs.
Recommendations on bass amplification?
I currently run vintage Mac tubes on several systems, but I want something that will be strong and effortless without spending more than say $2k.
I am also considering class d, I have had extensive maintenance on my macs due to
age (worth it!!) but would prefer to avoid that. I have several Mc2100s but I strongly believe I can do better.......so new stuff? Old stuff?
TT/DAC/Pre amp suggestions. I am an open book...prefer warm, natural tones (ie early mac tubes) Listen to blues, folks, rock, some modern and jazz primarily....but I will put on anything interesting!
Also, I live in a rural area, there is some local availability but, I have a 5 hour drive to SF. But I have family there so I am down that way ~5x a year
Respectfully,
Walt
