Recommended Pre-Amps under 1k?


Good day everyone! I am looking at Pre-Amps under 1k. I know it’s a very tight budget….

So far the Schiit Freya S and Freya + are well regarded. I am open to any suggestions. It does not need to have a DAC or phono input just FYI. 
 

thanks guys

For under $1000 I also think the Schiit Freya+ to be a good option. Otherwise used is a great way to go. 

I decided to go a slightly different direction and buy an Audiolab 6000A Play to replace my current integrated. I will also test it in Amp Bypass Mode with my two small amps and compare to the sound of its lower power built in amp. After buying the 6000CDT, I really fell for the Audiolab build quality, look and sound.
