Preamp recommendations for Aragaon Palladium amps?

Recall the Palladium’s are balance input only so try to find an preamp with XLR out. Probably going to have less of a selection in your budget with a phono preamp. I’d look into a preamp that’s a little on the warmer side as Aragon’s can be a little forward sounding, but great amps. Look into an older ARC Line series with balance out as a SP series will probably be outside your budget and pickup a nice phono preamp as there’s plenty out there.

If you can find a Parks Audio Budgie phono preamp you’ll have a killer rig.

agree 100%

balanced input requirement narrows the field substantially

Thanks for the replies.  I've located a Plinius 16M preamp and will see how it sounds with the Palladium amps.
