[admin_exported]

Hello Friends,

1. I own the following set up:-
(a) Monitor Audio G S 60 Speakers.
(b) Arcam CD 37 CD Player.
(c) Bryston 4B SST Power Amp.
(d) Transparent Music Link Super & Plus Interconnects.
(e) Chord Odessy Speaker Cables.

2. I am looking for a preamp and have zeroed down to the following:-
(a) Arcam FMJ C 31
(b) Bryston BP 16.
(c) Sim Moon i - .1

3. Please advise me for the selection of the Pre Amp.

Regards thelapillil

I've not heard any of them, but I would buy the Bryston simply because I feel you're more likely to get synergy with the all bryston combo. It would also look nicer.

Byston is the way to go. Don't look back.

I'm going to upset the apple cart and jump in with my favourite, a passive pre from Music first. If it falls within your budget then its worth a listen. Adds nothing and takes nothing away....

Surely you need take your power amp and cd player to your local dealer and hear them for yourself.

Better still persaude them to let you try them at home.

Don't believe any advice here - believe your own ears!

If you intend to keep it for a long time check whether Bryston still do a 20 year guarantee and then that must be top of the list.

Yes, Bryston does still offer that guarantee.

Hmmm, not considered McIntosh? Amazing looking and sounding kit (the former you can see, the latter by all accounts).
