Pre amp to match a Quad 909

[Bourney]

Bit of an Impulse purchase as I've read lots about them but never heard one. It'll be used with Harbeth P3ESRs. Any experience of pre amp matching and what works best? Budget upto say £600.

How about a Quad Elite pre I have for sale :)

I sell quite a few Croft pres to go with Quad power-amps.

The Quad 909 is my next amp to try.

Thanks Dave, I wondered if a Croft would work. I'm not very knowledgeable about electrically matching pre and powers to avoid too much gain etc.

Quad amplifiers work well with passive pre-amps. There are some rather decent ones about.

I'm in the process of putting an AVI S2000 MP in excellent condition on Ebay ATM.

I went with a Glasshouse pre from a fellow AOSer and on first impressions, im stunned!

Sounds like a rather excellent pairing, good choice :cool:

I normally can't get on with solid state amps on first listen, I have to adjust, but I've sunk into this straight away. Could save me a blimmin' fortune!
