I currently have 802d speakers paired with MC-501 amps and an Aragon Stage 1 pre/pro. I'm getting upgradeitis and thinking the Stage 1 is the weak link here. Can anyone suggest a better pre/pro? I listen to music at least 80% of the time and watch movies 20%.

Have you checked out Mcintosh's pre/pro line?
Do you watch movies in 2 channels? -
I use the MX-135 from McIntosh, great for surround, very good for two channel!Comment

Hi there,
Have you ever considered the Musical Fidelity A5cr Pre & Pwr amps. Try and get the chance to audition them first. They do also pop up on Ebay Uk, so you never know you
might get hold of a good bargain. The A5cr Pwr amp has 415 watts in 4 ohms and is capable of taking care of any speaker of any load.
All the best

I also have the 802d's, with Mac amps..
I am using a Anthem D2, for the pre-amp
which is nothing short of amazing..
On the audio side it's takes any analog or digital
signal, uses muliple d/a conferters, and the end
result is it sounds more natural, analogue..

Every once in awhile in the audio world a piece of equipment comes along that is so incredible that it deserves special mention among a plethora of mediocre components, and the new THX EX equipped Tag McLaren AV32R is one such piece.

Hello All,
I am in the market for a new pre-pro and wanted your guy’s opinions on my options. I have been reading a lot for about 3 months, but still would like some more opinions. The main things I can looking for in new pre-pro are excellent audio detail and a good wide open soundstage.... -
Anyone else "into" vinyl? NOT the kind you wear -- such as 1970's disco pants :>) -- but rather, the kind you spin for music. In other words, LPs!
One nice feature of the RDC-7, which you won't find in many competing models, is the built-in phono stage. Given the superb... -
Some pre/pros that are highly regarded for the quality of their presentation on HT surround modes (DTS, DD 5.1, et al) are not considered truly appropriate for "audiophile" two channel music playback, especially those lacking an analog pass-through. Others have DACs that are easily surpassed...
