Need under $1500 preamp for my system


Hi,
I listen to classical and jazz. I like nuance and warmth. I have...

Aerial 10T’s - Speakers
Parasound Zone Master 2350 - Power Amp
Music Fidelity X-ray (has coax digital out) - CD player

...and I need a preamp under $1500. I am considering streaming, but also have plenty of vinyl, (and an inexpensive turntable, which I also might upgrade.) I am considering the Parasound NewClassic 200 Pre, but would love other recommendations as well. Also having a built in tuner might be nice.
Thanks

Congrats on your ModWright... you did well. If you’re using the stock power cord you might want to invest in an upgrade later as it will improve things. I’m not sure if Dan voices his gear with WyWires but he does use their cables often and he turned me on to WyWires and have been very pleased. Keep your eyes open for a Silver Juice II as used they won’t break the bank. Also right now WyWires is offering a 40% sale. Enjoy your new Pre.
I’ve posted it several times here that I feel a used ModWright SWL 9.0 SE is hard to beat for what they go for. The only negative thing is it may keep you up late. They don’t show up too often and if you buy it right and don’t like, I’d be surprised if you lose anything. I think there’s one here right now with the upgraded tube rectifier which demands a little more money but worth it. Great preamp.
