Pre amp for Nuforce Reference 9 mono's


Hi,

Wondering if anyone can recommend a good tube or SS pre amp to mate with these amps? Very open, detailed & transparent and think if I can add just a smidge more of organic texture, I will have it all. Using with an Emotiva pre/dac and am sure as good as it is for the price, adding a dedicated preamp is the way to go. Playing with various cables as well, and am open to suggestions there as well as I have read they can be very cable dependent to.

System consists of:

Nuforce Referece 9 mono blocks
Usher 8871 DMD Diamonds
Oppo BDP 83
Apply Tv

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Mechans,

Thanks, I am thinking of a tube preamp all the way if I can find the right match, but will not rule out a SS pre. Would like to keep it around $1k or below or so for now. Thinking about the Dared MC-7P tube pre as I saw a 6 moons reviewer uses one with his Nuforce amps, and I would assume that eliminates a mismatch.
