Thinking out loud: solid state Linestage < $2k?


Just pondering out loud. Curious about solid state line stages under $2k USD.

Dynamic and maybe a little forward in Presentation.

3 inputs (min)
2 outputs (minimum)

no phono, no dac, no headphone.

single ended only

Mono switch a plus.

able to drive power amp with 22k ohm input.

not sure about the output impedance but the AVA Vision SLR seems about perfect.

any others I should look into?

@rodman99999  thanks, I have a Schiit SYS I ran for more than a year that worked fine other than only having a single set of outputs. It was definitely quiet but kind of boring. I definitely need 2 sets of outputs.
@patrickdowns the LDR V2 is very interesting. Certainly under budget. 
Thanks I will definitely rabbit hole this out
@soix  good question. I think I’m wanting a not laid back presentation. 
It makes sense in my head but I’m not sure I can put that into words.

@jjss49  the solid state Vision SLR pretty much ticks all the boxes. That may very well be my next.
