Hi all, I have recently placed an order for a pair of active speakers with built in DSP and streaming. They also have analogue in so I can run a phono stage in, but it will go through the digital crossover. Although I expect this to sound good I am nervous about moving away from analogue so I have bought a project tube box ds2 which has two outputs, 1 to go to the active speakers and 1 to go to an analogue set up. Currently I have a Rega brio r running into Rega rs1 but I fancy a change and was thinking of trying out a pre/power combination for the first time - I have seen a few quad 306 for sale for reasonable money and imagine I could always sell it on if I don't like it. My question is which pre should I be looking to pair the quad up with and will it give me an improvement over the brio r?

Thanks
Phil
