steakster I've looked at that one. Would be perfect if it had a remote
Balanced/Differential tube preamplifier recommendation?
First post here. Hello
I have a Wyred4Sound ST-500mkII class D power amplifier. I would like a balanced/differential tube preamplifier to go with it. Ideally I would spend less than $2000 on this preamp. A remote for power and volume control is a must for me.
I would like something that is true balanced, as my source is also true balanced
I have seen a few options, but most seem to be out of my price range, and to be an uneven match for a fairly affordable power amp like I have. Any suggestions? Thank you 🙂

+1 @ghdprentice although not sure CJ offers balanced preamps, and I agree you’re likely gonna have to up your budget a bit to get a fully balanced pre from the likes of VAC, ARC, Atma-Sphere, etc. That said, there is this Audio GD pre from Underwood Hifi that would seem to check all your boxes, and at $2499 new it’s not all that much above your price target. Worth checking out I’d think, and best of luck in your search. |
Thanks soix. That's good info. You say VAC, ARC, Atma-Sphere etc. Would you mind elaborating on the etc.? I am new to the world of high end modern equipment.
As for the Audio GD, I am very interested in that. I appreciate the tip. I used to own their NFB11 DAC/headphone amp, and I really loved it. I'll be doing some research on this preamp today |
