best tube preamp under a 1000 for B&K 200 sonatas?
I have a pair of the B&K mono block sonatas...currently using a B&k ss pre....I would like to step into a tube pre but don't want to spend more than a grand. Definitely buying used. Running paradigms studio 60's. All suggestions welcome. Thanks
Its a hard price point even for something used. If you can find an old Sonic Frontiers SFL-1, that would be my first choice. Its one of the few low cost preamps that actually sound very good. Quicksilver is another good choice.
Not to get off topic, but I haven't thought about BEL for a long time until I saw your post. Are they still in business? I almost bought a pair of 1001's myself. They were one of the best solid state amps I've ever heard.
