2 Channel SS Preamp Suggestions

Hello A-goners,

I am in the final stages of making a preamp purchase to seperate a 2 channel system from my HT system with a preamp. I would really appreciate some feedback on the following SS units: Blue Circle CS (not the intergrated), Adcom GFP 750, Marsh P2000, Rotel RC 1090 and maybe your suggestions. I have a line on a BC 21.1 tube preamp if I decide for sure to go with tubes. My budget for SS preamp is up to $1500. Thanks to all in advance.

Very nice, great features, and built by the legendary

Save your money and get a Monolithic PA-1. A passive buffered unit, it is amazingly quiet and absolutely transparent. A second good choice would be the Morrison preamp which costs a bit more. If no phono stage is necessary, these should provide all the performance anyone needs. Good luck.

Try and find a used Conrad-Johnson PFR. A great SS preamp that has many inputs and is very musical. Should be able to find one for around $1000. I have one and am very pleased with it.
