I have tried many of the pre's listed above, as well as Aesthetics Calypso. I settled on a used Modwright LS100 tube pre. Two 6SN7's and tube rectifed as well. Way under the radar and a top performer. Blew away most everything else. Under $2K used a little more if the have the tune phono stage. Great piece of gear.
Need preamp suggestion
My Krell home theatre pre developed static noise and the repair bill is expensive, so I want to get a new one that sounds at least as good. I am listening to the system with an inexpensive Adcom pre, and the Krell sounds considerably better in many ways - open, dynamic, bigger and more realistic.
Are there pre amps that are a good match for Krell Power amp, that sound as good or better, for a good affordable price?
I also have McIntosh separates and enjoy the sound, but the Krell combo sounds more modern, liquid, and transparent.
I am looking for those qualities.
Big thanks for your words of experience in advance...
