There is a nice Classe CP-60 with phono and balanced outputs listed here for $1600. I've ownd Classe gear and it is real nice stuff. BTW, I agree with Zd542,balanced should not be a make or break deal in choosing a preamp.
Need reasonably priced balanced preamp
After years of home theater the new house allows breakout of the fronts and amp for a dedicated 2 channel setup (Levinson 336, Wilson 5.1's). Primary use is for vinyl front end and some digital streaming. Been looking at the reasonably priced Nuprime Dac10, Wyred mPre, Parasound P5, etc. Would like to have balanced outputs since I have those cables. Unfortunately no local dealers so can't listen to any of these. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
