arthurp Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Howdy folks Glad to finally join. And yes I'm from Perth and...I can be a bit shy. Had a question to ask. I have the following system: Speakers: Wilson WP8 Amp: Bryston 4B Cubed Pre Amp: Stax CAX-Pro CD: Bryston BDP-1 T/T: Rega RP 10 FM Tuner Eumig T-1000 Cables and interconnects from Gary Cawsey (Awesome gear) My question is, have preamps improved much over the last decade or two? Whilst I love my Stax preamp I'm not sure if I don't know what I don't know. Am I deluded in thinking this amp is the bees knees or are there other Stax Preamp owners that would say there are fare better preamps than the Stax Cax- Pro Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Macfarlane Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Hi Arthur, I have not heard the Stax pre although I did have the mono power amps for a while.Given it's age a good refresh by a properly qualified technician is possibly in order. Mike at Liquid audio in Perth does a lot of restoration work on quality older equipment. His website is very informative ,with lots of case studies of his restoration work. Mike is great to have a chat with and a real engineer rather than just a 'parts swaper'. He seems to be very honest and an enthusiast himself. http://liquidaudio.com.au/ Edited August 6, 2018 by Ozcall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
