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.

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.

If you can stretch there is and end-game BAT Rex Preamp for $7k on USAM. 53SEs are asking the same money. The value play is the VK-52SE which I normally see sell in the mid-$3K range. I’ve owned all three and now own the two-chassis Rex. They’re well-built and sonically hard to beat. Plenty of reviews available to help you decide. Otherwise, get the best ARC Reference that you can afford.
