Budget Preamps for Atmaspheres?


I am considering purchasing an Atmasphere S-30 or maybe M-60 at some point, and am wondering if there are any budget preamps that would match well with them. Is anyone using a cheap preamp with these excellent amps?

Atma-Sphere or Aesthetix would be nice. I agree about using a fully balanced architecture in the pre regardless with the Atma’s…

Mpignone, Please except my apology for having a complete brain fade and suggesting those very expensive preamps. I read your question... walked away to attend to something and then came back and was completely off point.

I too would suggest the Ear/Yoshino 834L, or I would offer a Juicy Merlin, Peach, Extreme, Blueberry (don't be put off by the names), PrimaLuna Prologue 5. Just to name a few.

Happy Listening!
Just thought of a new one...Eastern Electric MiniMax Preamplifier sound good with vintage tubes.
