mate for Spectral amp that is not Spectral


Hello all,
I have a Spectral dma 180 series 2 and need to match a used preamp to it. I am looking in the $4-600 range. That is why A Spectral pre is unattainable.

I would love to hear your thoughts. I would love a phono section as I have a Revox tt but it is not a deal breaker. Driving Maggies and I have MIT cabling.

thanks for your help,
Ken

Thanks so much for your thoughts. I have a line on an Audio Research at $600 so the top of my range but I was not sure the Spectral will play nicely as it is somewhat picky, right?
Thanks for your thoughts. That is of course my ideal but I have been looking for over a year and have come up empty. Had a line on a dmc-5 but no cash. Now I have the cash but no opportunity.
