Title: CSP3+Zrock2+Toriijrv2 vs CSP3+Torii mk5
Post by Gabs on 10/13/21 at 16:11:22

Hi!

I have an order on a CSP3 full anniversary mod and a Torii Jr v2 also with full anniversary mod. I'm contemplating adding a Zrock2 fully pimped up to my order.

The other day I came over the discussion on the new Torii mk5 and it got me thinking. How about CSP3 + Torii mk5 as an option.
Price wise both alternatives are about the same, but what about sound wise?

Any thoughts all knowing oracle?!

Thanx

I preface this reply by saying I am a definite amateur, and the other experts on this site will know more -

I imagine some of them might tell you that the Torii MK5 isn't going to need/see as much benefit from a preamp, that money might be better spent elsewhere if buying the MKV.

I have an MKV on order and I will be buying the ZRock2 to pair with it as my next purchase.

Hey dr3wman!

Thank you for the reply!

I see you're point. I really think this si a discussion of very subtle differences. It may be the combination CSP3, Zrock2 and Toriijrv2 will be the more flexible of the choices. And the real question is more if I need the extra 5 watt the Torii gives?

Anyway I see myself as very fortunate to have trouble with such choices😀

I can not see a listener hearing the difference between 20 watts and 25 watts. To me the difference between the two amps will be in areas other than power.

If money is tight, I would buy either of those amps and then instead of the preamp or the bass booster, I would spend that amount of money on auditorium upgrades, source upgrades, or speaker upgrades. Unless you are already top notch in those areas.
