Looking for a new preamp
Good afternoon,
It has been awhile since I've posted anything here, but I do have a preamp question. I currently have an Aragon 28k mk2 pre along with an Aragon 8008 mk2 amp. Both my source and amp are balanced but the 28k is not. I think the Aragon pre is a nice, but I think I can do better. I tried an ARC LS17SE pre a few years back, and although this is a nice piece, it didn't seem to work well with the 8008. I believe the impedance was a mismatch. This was confirmed by ARC as well. I would like to try this again at 2 different price points. One being the new Schitt Freya S at $599 and the BAT 23SE which is on sale at Music Direct for $3k, originally $5k. My speakers are Dynaudio Excite 44 for now.
Thank you.

Look at the Schiit Freya + $899, as you have 3 different flavours in one, passive, tube, or solid state. It's got everything, many inputs/output, remote, xlr, se, inputs and outputs, 128-Step Relay switched volume almost as good as going direct. Or if you don't care for tube part, the Freya S for $599 And you can send it back if you not taken with it. Win win in my books. Cheers George |
