OP, absolutely, drop back in model number...time as far as needed to hit your max budget. I had a used Audio Research preamp that I bought in 1979 that I had for nearly twenty years.
Preamp advice
I currently have an electrocompaniet ec 4.7 preamp.
Iam looking to upgrade to a more holographic preamp without breaking the bank.
Speakers: Wilson Sasha, Martin Logan SL3, Magnepan 3.5R
Amp: Krell KSA 200S
Source: Consonence Droplet Vinyl with Lyra Kleos SL
Ideally something used.
Happy to hear recommendations.

@lewm Is the Raven preamplifier from Spatial Labs an example of what you are asking about? |
Jc, I had never heard of the Raven preamp but I have long known about Lynn Olson as a very smart designer. I cannot be sure, but I think it uses an interstage transformer. I have not yet figured out whether it is output transformer coupled. Nice piece of gear I would love to hear. Just found this on their website, which certainly suggests it IS output transformer coupled. "Part of the Revelation series, the Raven linestage preamplifier brings Western Electric technology into the 21st Century. Like the classic WE line drivers of the 1930's, it is transformer coupled throughout, input and output, and fully balanced for minimum distortion."
