For the kind of money you’re willing to spend you can get a great preamp but if analogue is your love, you’re much better served getting a great dedicated phono preamp to go along with the main preamp. They can make a huge difference compared to anything “built in” to a preamp.
adding tuner capabilities makes you looking for something you’re far better off getting in a streamer which you can always add later.
my all tube preamp has neither tone nor balance controls and I’ve never missed them. (Primaluna evo 400).
Looking for a new preamp Max $5k
Hi All!
I'm new here and this is my 1st post.
As the title says, I'm looking for a new preamp as part of a new system I'm putting together.
So, decided on Klipsch Cornwall IV, Parasound Halo 21a+
What I want in the preamp:
SS or Tube is an option, that decision will be finalized by listening to the combo if possible
All analog...No DAC
Tape Loop
At least 4 inputs Plus
MM & MC phono input
XLR in and out are fine but not required
Remote that controls Volume, Bass and Treble, Mute
A tuner would be fantastic!!!
I'm sure I'm forgetting something and I'm sure all here will point me to some other options I'd want.
Thanks!!!
