Merc, my only sources for 2 channel would be CD and possibly even TV. Are you saying that the TAP would be a very high quality 2 channel pre in its own right?
After reading reviews of the Anthem 2L and Rogue 66 I have to admit I'm starting to look forward to the tube sound. But with the TAP, the price is definitely right.. Obviously though since you have the TAP, you're still not satisfied with it for 2 channel either. Any further insights on the Sony as its own pre?
HTC: The TAP is a very nice preamp, especially for its' cost but it is not as clean as the Adcom GFP-750. Of course, the Sony costs one third the Adcom, so you would expect that. The other problem with the Sony, for me, is that I have 3 two channel sources, as well as, two 5.1 channel music sources. So, my plan is to use the Adcom(or Music Fidelity)preamp for my 3 two channel sources and the Sony to switch between MC SACD and DVD-A, and my 950 for movie playback on DVD, HDTV, DVHS, cable, and my PVRs(HD&SD). I will have to place my ICBM after the Sony, so I will have to manually switch the ICBM to bypass mode every time I use the 950. My other option would be to buy another ICBM.
Regardless, my system uses a boatload of interconnects...
