+1 Dehavilland Ultraverve 3 highly recommended. With the NOS Sylvania VT231/6SN7GT it hits the next level of being sweet and delicate. Offers the transparency of a passive, and a huge soundstage. IMO you will not be disappointed with this pre.
Stereo Preamp to pair with Carver
I'm looking to upgrade from my current Emotiva PT-100 Preamp to something with more life.
I am currently running 2 Carver TFM-35x Amps that have been fully refurbished and upgraded.
My current Speakers are DefTech BP2002TL and are bi-amp driven by the Carvers.
I listen to mainly vinyl utilizing a ProJect RPM-1 with Ortofon 2M Blue cart.
Occasionally listen to CD's utilizing Oppo 103.
Some digital streaming utilizing a PS4.
I have a Mofi Phono Preamp on standby as well.
I'd like to stay under $1k and prefer used, as you usually get more for you money in that realm.
Thanks in advance.
