best ss preamp for 2000 or less used


I am looking for a solid state preamp to help speed up my system without sounding too bright. I have tried the conrad johnson pfr and loved the sound but couldn't deal with the volume control, 4 steps from zero was ear bleeding. Is anybody happy with their ss pre.

Bullwinkle's suggestion of a Klyne is rock solid. Most of the Klyne gear is well above the other brands mentioned here. You won't see too many of them used for two reasons:

1) There aren't that many built as these are all hand built by the designer himself. As such, they fall into the "labor of love" / "i did the best i could possibly do" category

2) The people that have them aren't parting with them

Those two statements alone should tell you what you need to know about Klyne gear. Sean
