Hey Guys,
I have been putting up quite a lot of threads recently trying to get a comparason of the Cyrus pre/power amp vs a Cambridge audio 840a V2. However, because im an impatient ******, I have decided to go for the Cyrus ( i havent heard the cyrus - no time and no dealers near). I am going to buy a new pre VS2 and get whatever amplification i can get for around 400- 500 pounds (second hand). I know What Hi Fi are doing a test next month with the CA 840 but that is against an intergrated cyrus 8 not pre/power.
Any one heard them both CA 840a and Pre/Power cyrus? Will i definately get a better sound from a cyrus pre/power than a camb integrated (powering B&W 685)?
I have these questions that i would greatly appreciate some help with -
1) Am i better off getting 2 6power amps and bi amping (going quite cheap second hand) or geting 1 8power.
2) On Ebay there are a lot of Link powers and Smart powers - some one said these are the previous versions of 6 and 8 power - is this true?
3) If Yes - is their a massive difference between them - ie is it worth me spending another 200 odd pounds more on a Second Hand 8power than the older Smart power (likewise for LinkPower and 6power).
4) Final question honest! Can 6 powers be upgraded in the future with psxr's?
I know thats a lot of questions but any help is appreciated. Thanks for reading!
