Having had over 25 preamps in the last three decades, my current favorite full function preamp is the Doge 8 Clarity. The line stage is right at home with my Aesthetix IO signature Phono stage and Coincident SET amplifiers. Incredible price performance. Read “preamp shootout” parts 1 and 2 for info. Focused more on phono stages, but a good primer for some line stage comparisons as well.
Need preamp recommendation
Hi everyone :)
I am in the market for a 2-ch preamp to go with my power amp, and am looking for some recomendations. Will prob go used, as I think I can get more value for my money. I would like to limit the sale price @ $4k.
Do I want this?:

Thanks in advance.
