Find a preowned Luxman C800F and you're done, does not sound like a solid-state or tube sound, just natural and ultra low noise design and built to last forever.
Reccomend a good preamp for me.
I have nixed the preamp for a while now with using only a DCS Rossini DAC going direct. I have that in the back of my room and a 10M pair of balanced cables that run to my various amps I use. I have been getting back into vinyl again and even a cassette player so I am in need of a preamp that will have at least one balanced input and 2 more RCA inputs. I have been trying different amps and speakers lately also and think I will land on some kind of lower powered tubes and higher efficiency speakers. I used to have a few nice preamps years ago and I always remember thinking the preamp was a big piece of the puzzle the heart maybe of the system. PS Audio BHK looks good maybe or a Pass Preamp? I'm out of the loop on preamps.

I've owned a LOT of Preamps in my years of being involved in Audio...including EAR 912. Truthfully...wouldn"t trade any of them for the BLACK ICE F360 I currently have in my System. As a line stage it is stellar. I use the Balanced outputs to run 20ft of cable to my KR842VHD based monoblocs with no problem at all. |
I can highly recommend Concert Fidelity CF-080LSX2. Masataka can make one of the inputs and outputs balanced. It is one of the most neutral preamps. It allows easy tube rolling. https://positive-feedback.com/Issue41/concert_fidelity.htm |
