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.

If the OP is going up the price range, then the Allnic preamps would be something to consider. Very resolving and holographic, these are usually opposite characteristics.

BTW - the $500 Schiit Valhalla 3 OTL/OCL I mentioned previously is used by me as a preamp only.

Yyzsantabarbara, my guess the Galion Navy preamp will be as good as the Allnic ,my choice for less than 10k.Thomas spend times to voice his preamps and he uses premium parts as well. His P75 preamp I heard from a friend house is stellar $1800 . It is blessings to have a Tomas in this hobby full of experience and passionate on our hobby. Kind and not greedy.
