Preamp recommendation

Get the Parasound . I have a Rogue RP-1, and I wouldn’t recommend it for you . After upgrading to Telefunken medical grade 12AU7’s , isolation footers and a $250 power cord, it sounds good as a single ended line stage tube pre with my Schitt Yiggy DAC . But the headphone section is crap. I have a modded Thorens with a Grado cartridge, and I am not pleased with the phono stage , its noisy and needs a bit more gain .  So if you take the cost of the RP-1 and add $600 then how does the Parasound look ? In your system I’d get a quiet SS pre . Regards , Mike B. 

Don't be too quick to rule out building one from a kit.www.bottlehead.com has easy to build kits which outperform preamps costing thousands.

I would get a used EAR 864 full function preamp ($2000-$2500) or the upgraded ones EAR 868P around $5000 (more limited functionality than) the EAR 912 (outstanding phono section) at $7500-8500.  Or buy the 868L for $1000-$1500 less and add a phono preamp.  They will last decades.   

cary slp 98p they are on sale right now for a little over 2k from Cary Direct had mine for years now and it's a great preamp

If you are interested in the Parasound JC2-BP, I have one for sale on USAM - less than two years old and in excellent condition. I'm the original owner.
