Re: pre amp upgrade

It all depends on the "flavour" you want in your preamp. To me one of the most neutral and dynamic is the Joule LA-150, but I don't know if you'd find a used one fitting your budget. The LA-100 is also a great preamp, a bit more "romantic" sounding which is good for classical, probably due to a more recessed high range, but not at all "tubey". To me the CJ's are tubey sounding, too much colored for my taste. I have short experience with Cary preamps so I'd better don't give an opinion.
