Hello everyone ,
I recently purchased an Onkyo M-504 power amp that i have been running through my Sansui AU-717 pre-ins. I love the phono section on the 717 and am considering buying a AU-317 to use as a pre-amp for the onkyo ( i want my AU-717 system back ). I have not heard an au-317 and am wondering if anyone has any direct comparison knowledge of the AU-717 vs. 317 phono sections.
My thinking is if they are comparable then the AU-317 is a rather inexpensive way to get the sound i am looking for out of a preamp without buying , testing a bunch of preamps. I have a recapped NAD 1130 that i have run the Onkyo through and it sounded good but it just didnt do it for me like the Sansui does.
Any opinions would be appreciated
