I own the Motherlode II,and the Unlimited. Wonderful preamps,and Aric is great to work with. Although,the OP really should state a budget,sonic requirements as well.
Favorite Preamps without phono section
Just looking for any quality recommended preamps without any phono section. I use one of my 2 phono preamps exclusively (mostly my Herron VTPH-2A). And I use the DACs in my Oppo — 2 ESS Technology ES9038PRO DACs.
Really just looking to see if it’s worth seeking out a preamp that maximizes sonic quality/purity, without any wasted feature-sets that add cost, take up space & add weight, complicate the circuit path(s), etc.
Thanks,
Jim
