I'd be grateful to hear from anyone who has compared the current model BP-19 analogue preamp with the older BP-17 Cubed.
On the used market right now, the former costs about $1000 more than the latter.
So the question on my mind—I currently use the BP-26/MPS-2—is whether I should save up for another year or so in order to purchase a BP-19, or whether the performance of the two models is close enough that it would make sense, or also make sense, to purchase a BP-17 Cubed.
Not that it should matter greatly, bu I would be using a BP-17-3 or BP-19 sometimes with a 4B3, sometimes with a 14B-SST2, and sometimes, using an external crossover, both at the same time.
TIA, Joel.
