I would look for a Krell EVO 222 preamp! CAST is incredible. CAST cable at 1.5k pair sounds better the XLR cable at 10k pair. There is a speed, resolution, coherency to CAST that is one of Krell's ace up their sleeves. The EV222 ought to be around your budget too. The even better EV202 (2 chassis) preamp might be found at a steep discount that's close to your budget...maybe? Krell power amps sound especially good with Krell preamps.
Preamp recommendation please..
Hello,
I'm looking to buy a 2nd hand preamp, to match my Krell Evo 302e amp.
Speakers are Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Concert Grand.
I like setups based on tube preamps and SS amps, but this is not a must.
Most important for me: Transparency, Musicality & Drive. Smooth sound, not thin or clinical.
Fully balanced models are preferred.
Budget is around $3k.
Any help and information would be greatly appreciated.
Tnx.
