If your budget is less than 5K...the Primaluna Dialogue Premium preamp is a bargain on steroids at the asking price of $3,200.00 new.. or can be had used for around $2,200.00. Lots of info/reviews online. The new EVO lineup incorporates balanced in/out if needed also.
Help selecting a new preamp
I want to replace my Outlaw Audio 976 preamp with a stereo only preamp, no tuner. Sources will be an OPPO 103, a Shiit D/A from my mac mini room server and a Teac 2300 r to r Power amp is a Carver Crimson 275... speakers are Goldenear Triton 2+......max 5k budget. Any help is greatly appreciated. Phono input OK but not a necessity...THANKS
