2 Channel SS Preamp Suggestions


Hello A-goners,

I am in the final stages of making a preamp purchase to seperate a 2 channel system from my HT system with a preamp. I would really appreciate some feedback on the following SS units: Blue Circle CS (not the intergrated), Adcom GFP 750, Marsh P2000, Rotel RC 1090 and maybe your suggestions. I have a line on a BC 21.1 tube preamp if I decide for sure to go with tubes. My budget for SS preamp is up to $1500. Thanks to all in advance.

If you can deal with four line inputs I HIGHLY recommend a used Pass Labs Aleph P preamp (usually sold between $1000 and $2000 depending on age and remote). They sold for $4000 new, are built like tanks, and they sound amazing. I doubt the ones you mention will compare. The Adcom model is actually a Nelson Pass design, so it will be like a junior version of the Aleph P.

One other bonus...Pass Labs is excellent to deal with as far a support goes.
