I like my one box Aesthetix Janus. It has many gain and load adjustments which are also available from the remote(!). I can't imagine needing more flexibility than this tube preamp provides. It can be had for <4K used, new is 6.5K with the latest signature version at around 10K. Some dealers will deal. Good Luck.
Getting back into analog
It has been about 10- 12 years since I had a turntable in my system but I am going to change that now. My question is should I buy a preamp with a builtin phono or buy a outboard phono preamp? My current preamp is a CJ CT6, I think it is quite good but I am open to any suggestions.
Price range for a preamp ($4,000 - $8,000) new or used. If I keep my preamp $1,000 - $2,500 for a outboard pre.
I have not purchased a turntable yet but will soon.
Thanks, any suggestions would be appreciated.
