Best SS preamp $1000

Ok lots of suggestions here. I have to tell you the Bel Canto Pre 3 is a top notch pre for $1000.

I am using one now while my tube pre is being built. I must tell you is surpasses many high dollar preamps I have heard and owned. Yes it is that good.

Very sweet and really has no significant weakness. A joy to use with wonderful build quality.If the tube unit I am waiting on was not the amazing piece it is, I would keep the Pre 3 as it pleases me as much or more then a slew of preamps costing up to $8000 new.

Dead quiet and really is very neutral sounding. Nice tone and quite dynamic also.

If I was building a modest system from scratch this pre would be my choice.

The Bel Canto is a wonderful balance of neutral, transparent and musical, smooth and sweet at the same time.

Never thin sounding or bright in any way. You can listen to music for hours without any fatigue.

It really is quite good and can be found used for $1000 or so.

I have owned some of the best pre's and the Pre 3 is very special at its price point.

Tlhiii,

Glad to hear you like it so much. It is a real find and a joy to use.
