Best ss phono with volume control

Ss pre-amp with phono or, rather, phono with line pre-amp since phono was the foremost consideration when it was designed: Tidal Preos. Not cheap, but you can confidently put the topic pre-amp at rest thereafter.

Murataltuev did not mention his budget, so I'm merely mentioning an amp I happen to know as one of the best examples of what he's looking for. THE best? You won't hear me claim that, I'm not on a missionary quest and I won't criticize anyone else's choice or advice. (... the Tidal Presencio is better for that matter).

Anyway, the first iteration of the Preos (which I own) did not have balanced outputs, altough it sports XLR connectors. The present Preos has balanced outputs, it appears a mite problematic that they didn't clarify that by naming it MkII or something alike.

Entirely my pleasure Murat!

Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do.
