best remote preamp for McCormack amp


I am looking for the best matching preamp other than a mccormack to match up with my dna-2. Just a simple line stage, no phono, and non passive.thanks for any feedback.

Hi, I agree with Garfish. I just purchased a Sonic Frontiers Line 3 to replace my McCormack TLC-1 deluxe w/remote and my McCormack RLD-1 which is also a great solid state pre for the money. I'm still keeping the McCormack pres for my second system. I'm very pleased with the line 3 and changed only because I wanted to try a tube pre with my McCormack DNA-2 standard (I hope to have Steve upgrade to Rev. A soon). The SF works excellent except runs hot (12 tubes no doubt put of some heat) and make sure your rack can give the SF's room to dissipate the heat if you go tube pre route. Hope this helps and feel free to contact me for further input. Don.
