VAC Renaissance meets your criteria. Balanced outputs and multiple balanced inputs. Excellent build quality and customer support. The remote is simple and easy to use, feels good in your hand, plus the volume control is not stepped so precise levels are easily attained. I am currently running mine balanced into a W4S amp and it sounds excellent especially with phono as the source.
Balanced Tube Preamps for Nuforce Ref 9SE V3
I am in the beginning stages of looking for a new tube preamp for my system. It will be driving a pair of Nuforce Ref 9SE V3.
Currently have a BAT VK 31SE and sounds quite nice. I want to upgrade with a budget of around $7500. I do want the pre to have balanced in and out capability and a remote control. While the BAT sound is nice, a bit more midrange warmth without sacrificing high frequencies or bass slam is desired.
Front end is a Esoteric SZ-1 feeding a MSB Power DAC (balanced connections) and speakers are Coincident Super Eclipse lll. All JPS superconductor 3 interconnects and speaker cable.
Any input is greatly appreciated!
