I require remote operation and balanced design. Used market is okay. The two I'm considering are the BAT VK-5i and SF Line-3. Any others that come to mind? Does anyone know of a non-6922 based preamp that fits my criteria (price, remote, balanced)?
I've owned the 5i, 30SE, 30, 40, and 50SE. The Pass Aleph P is every bit as good as the 5i, but it is solid state. I haven't seen a used Line 3 in the $2k price range yet, so I don't see how it meets your criteria. Good luck!
Rolf, you dunderhead. You can't get anything good for less than about seven thousand dollars. Why don't you forget it and get yourself a walkman. You can get one of those for less than 2k.
coltrane1, as brand-gnu s/f line 3's are now going for ~$2700, it won't be lomg befiore the used ones are at $2k. not that i will be rushing out any time soon to trade my melos... ;~)
