Well, it is that time again...to refresh the toys. I am 90% into audio and still play my half-speed lps as well as a number of the original master recording cds (i.e., MFSL, DCC, Mastersound, Ryko, Zounds, Pony-Canyon, Warner-Pioneer, MCA Masterdisc, etc.).
Unless I am mistaken, for the 3000k range the MC4 is the processor of choice. I considered Sunfire and Outlaw as well. The lack of upgradeability hurt the Sunfire. The Outlaw processor board appears designed mor e for HT than audio. The Lexicon MC-4 seems to have the right design (but what do I really know?)
Amplifiers to match up with this are really scaring me as I want a fine audio sound not that focused on the surge booms and mid-range focus of home theater. Price range mid 2k or below (please below). Would like to have meters or LEDs as I like to know (see) when my amp is running out of stuff. I may have to add this.
The Lexicon LX-5 amplifier is of interest as are the Outlaws.
Presently, I have
2 Snell XA 75 (front)
Snel Center Channel
2 Snell THX 60 (rear)
2 Carver M500t amplifiers
1 Carver PSC 60 professional preamp or Advent 300
1 carver DPL 20 Prologic surround processor
2 Rega P3 Turntables
1 Denon 1250 Turntable
1 Phillips 963 upsampling DVD/CD
Recommendations are requested,but please remember, this is audio first and foremost! Thanks for your help
