Tubes will give that sound u r looking for. But if that is too much try hybrids like the PSAudio. It’s in budget with a phono pre as it does not have that built in.
A warm natural sounding preamp
I currently have a Bryson 4B Amp a pair of dynaudio special 40 speakers my preamp is a cocktail X45 I HAVE A LINN BAsic turn tabel with a Lin Adict cartridge in it. Now I don't like the sound from the preamp the cocktail X45 is a great streamer cd player and ripper and digital recorder but identical like the sound from the preamp. I have a budget of between 6000 and 8000 dollars together a new preamp. Now I am looking for a preamp with a very warm and natural sound to it it can be tube or solid state. I need it to have a phono section that can take MM or MC have digital inputs and analog inputs must have balanced outputs tothe Amp and have at least a 2end output as well either analog or digital to send the music to the cocktail X45 so I can record it digital when I want to. The only brands i have considered at this point are MacIntosh and the Rotel Michi line. Can anyone out there direct me in recomending any other preamps out there Thank You Michael.
