I need your suggestion for a Preamp.


I would like to get a preamp, and I have an opp to get an Ayre K5XE MP, Jeff Rowland Capri or a Mark Levinson 380S.

The power amp is a Levinson 431, driving a pair of B&W Matrix 801 S3. I am using a Levinson 390S CD processor to drive 431, the sound is not too bad, but I need a couple of more inputs as I intend to use a TT and add a blu ray player as well.

The Levinson 380s is much more money, out of the all three.

Looking forward to some experts advises and suggestions/recommendation.

Cheers 
audiomaster

Check out the McIntosh c52 or it’s brother the c47. I bought the C47. It has 2 phono inputs: 1 for mm, 1 for mc, and a nice built in dac. TAS did a review on the C52 last year if you want more info
