If I'm not being too rude in creating a parallel thread, what do you think would be the best tube-based line stage at about $1500 or less.
What are the opinions around here about Shanling? I'm wondering if their 2-in/1-out HP300 headphone preamp at $399 would make for a good minimalist line stage like the Melos SHA-1 of 12 years ago. Downside: no remote. Upside: 2 headphone jacks.
