I'd go with the T2. It was the pinnacle of preamp design for Threshold, and should have great synergy with your T400. FYI, one is for sale right now here at the 'gon. Happy listening.
Best preamp for a Threshold T400/ VA Beethoven
Hello all,
I'm looking into leaving Home Theater and getting back into 2 channel audio. I'm keeping my Vienna Acoustic Beethovens and the Threshold T400 amp that's driving them, for the time being. I'm looking for a stereo preamp with balanced ins/outs, a tape loop, a HT throughpass, and remote, all for less than $2.5K on the used market. A phono stage would be an extra plus, as I have an old collection and turntable that I may move up to the big rig. I'm considering the Threshold T2, a Classe CP-60, among others. I'm interested in tube preamps, but I'm not that familiar with them. What other preamps should I check out?
Thanks,
John
