Backert Labs is a good choice - amazing sound...
Need preamp recommendation
I am in need of a new pre-amp that has a phono stage for a Music Hall turntable and a DAC that can support connection to my Sonos system and my digitized CD collection that was ripped in uncompressed format.
Amp is a Proceed LX-5 (only using 2 channels) and speakers are B&W Silver Signature Sevens. Was looking at a used Mark Levinson 526 but can't find one in my price range. Would like to keep the cost in the $5K - $7K range. Thank you in advance.

This is shockingly hard to find. McIntosh C49 might be your best option in that price range. Another would be the Mytek Manhattan ii. Both are in your price range and do everything you need. Lots of units with phono stages built in like the Musical Fidelity M8. Lots of DACs with excellent preamp stages but no phono stage like the Chord Hugo 2 TT. |
