Best Preamp for under $1750.00


Seeking recommendations for a preamp in the $750 to $1750 range. Balance of system consists of Aerial 8's, Bryston 7B's, and CAL CL-15. Room acoustics and speakers would favour lean over lush; I'm looking for something musical without being on the "warm" side. Music preferences include acoustic, jazz, and rock. Will re-cable according to final selections

Hi,

Well, I don't know about the "best" preamp, but two you might consider are the Juicy Music peach which has no phono, or SAS Labs 10A. The 10A for years was a major mainstay among audio mags. Now, one aI have heard of lately is the YS audio Symphony Plus or the Minimax Tube preamp. None of them you can go wrong with. That Minimax with the 200 dollar mod, is supposed to be a major giant killer. Anyway, there are a few suggestions to look at.
