There’s a Marsh P-2000t available here now for $695 that will provide what you’re looking for and come in well under your price target. I had the 2000b, which is the non-tube version, and it was very smooth and nuanced especially for a solid state pre. The 2000t is supposed to be even better. I don’t think Marsh is still in business so that is a consideration. There’s also a ModWright 9.0SE available for $1500 that may also be a very good choice. Best of luck.
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
