cd3.5 v cd5, flatcap to cd or preamp?

Posted by: bec143 on 29 January 2002

Thanks for the responses below. Unfortunately the CDI was sold before I had a chance to decide!

So now the decision is a used CD3.5 vs a new CD5. Either would be set up with a flatcap, and 92R/90. The difference in cost is about $900 US.

BTW, I was planning to connectthe flatcap to the CD player and not the preamp as it is now. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Bruce

In your situation, the general consensus seems to favor the preamp. However, it may be system dependant. Try it out!

If you opt for the Flatcap2, you could power both.
