I have an opportunity to buy a Crown IC 150A
Preamp for $200. I know Crown had a sketchy rep in the 70s, but was a decent preamp. I've had a Dynaco PAT4 and I was satisfied with it until the Carver amp shit the nest. I'm not an audiophile, but I want a preamp to handle my 10" and 7" rtr as well as a Yamaha double cassette deck. I have a restored Dual turntable, multiple restored Advent speakers and both Berwen tape and pop and click filters. My CD player is a Kenwood, but suspect.
Any thoughts from the audiophiles out there? I also have a couple of McIntosh high-end speakers without the crossover that are in need of restoration.
