I'm currently running my Linn Ninka's bi-amped with an Arcam A75+/P80 combo , but, wish to go down the active route over the next few months. I will be needing an active tune box and have had little success in trying to source one s/h. If anyone could point me in the right direction it'd be much appreciated.
HOWEVER :-
I'm thinking of replacing the amplification side with something more capable than the Arcam set up,but, I'm unsure which is the best way to go . I've been happy with the Arcam/Linn combination up to now but I'm sure there's something out there that will better it and make better use of the Ninka's capabilities.
Should I get a pre amp and a couple of power amps (Linn or otherwise) coupled with the tune box and bi-amp actively or just go for a higher powered integrated (Naim or otherwise). I have witnessed the difference extra power and control offers in going from bi-wiring to bi-amping. Is going active as measurable?
I have about £1500 available to better my hifi and would like any suggestions to make it better. My current set up is:-
Naim CD5i
Arcam A75+ integrated
Arcam P90 Power amp
Linn Ninka's
The interconnects and speaker cable are all of suitable quality so the only way now to better the performance is to replace components.
I'm not too bothered about replacing the Arcam gear as I can use the A75+/P90 combo to bi-amp my Linn Trikan centre in my HC set up.
Thankyou for any advice
