So we know the higher end preamps don’t include dacs and phono stages. Highly desirable noise free devices. I hear wonderful things about these preamps, Luxman, Accuphase, Audio Research, etc.
The breakpoint where the price of a preamp can no longer be justified is probably around $2k or so. Anything over that, you will not hear the difference :-)
