Hi everyone! It is awesome to find a dedicated space for Classe and it's great to be here!
I have a CA-2200 amp currently paired with an Audio Research LS1 line stage for 2-channel listening. I love my CA-2200 and is thinking about finding it the matching CP-700 preamp to replace the LS1. I read a lot of great things about the CP-700 and it seems to be a significant step up from CP-500.
The LS1 is a hybrid line stage that is pretty neutral and transparent. Although it has 1 tube it still sounds very SS to me. Do you think it will be a big improvement in SQ for me to change to CP-700 or will it be more of a lateral move??
Thanks for your advice!
