Buy a nice used Counterpoint SA-2000 or SA-3000 and send it to me for modification. It will be way under your budget and sound better than most preamps you can purchase on the market.
Happy Listening
My “Dream” system needs a preamp
Ok, this is a recent decision to build a two channel Dream system. Im leaning towards Magnapan 1.7i’s, a Denon DP59L and possibly a Krell type KSA250 solidstate class A........
i really liked a few preamps in the past from GoldenTube, AudibleIllusions, CounterPoint.....but its been years. My guess all these would fetch $2.5K or below on the used market, so align new gear suggestions at this price, my guess an outboard mm/mc preamp
