Care to recommend a preamp?

I am selling my Quicksilver full function pre that was rewired by a professional with MIT wire. It opened up the sound and tightened up the bass, but left the beautiful Quicksilver sound. It's much less than what you are looking to spend, but I'd put it's sound up against most in the 3k range. New it cost 2k plus the $300 upgrade. Full 5AR4 rectifier section. It was purchased in 95 I believe as I got my Silver Mono's that I'm also selling off at the same time. It's in great shape. I've changed over to Ayre solid state stuff and am selling off three systems. I even have what was top of the line MIT MH 770 speaker cable that was tuned for the Quicksilver amps. Please let me know if you have interest. you can't go wrong with any of Mike Saunders, Quicksilver equipment.

I would add Modwright to your list.

CAT SL1 - feel free to contact me for additional information. Great phono stage, versatile and built like a tank.

jmarke, There are currently 2 CAT Signature Mk2 preamps offered here on agon for around $2700. One is silver, the other black. Both have the phono stage option.

The CAT would seem to be the obvious choice, though it does not come with a remote.
