I would think you might consider the Kora and take advantage of potential synergy with your amps. I think either choice is a good one though and there are at least a few of both of those preamps available on Audiogon right now. Try picking one up used and if it doesn't suit simply resell it for as close to your purchase price as you can and buy the other. That sure sounds like a fun project to me.
Full Function preamp
Hello,
I am looking for suggestions between A kora Eclipse or an EAR 864. Santa was very nice to me with the gift a new VPI Scout and Shelter 501 cartridge, so I need to upgrade my AES AE-3(Kit) pre-amp and grado PH-1 phono stage. My amps are also Kora Cosmos. I do prefer these 2 for the reason that they both have pretty good phono stages and balanced output since I have a 18' run to the Amps. What are your thoughts on this.
Thanks for help
John
