I own 2 LA-4 pre amps. Love them. One for a much more expensive system. Both run in a Balanced mode. Great company, "RORY" great to deal with a very knowledgeable, 30 day trial period. HPA-4 I believe is their upgraded version of the LA-4 with a headphone amp that is highly regarded. Robert TN
Neutral preamplifier recommendation $1K new
Must have: Active, remote, two XLR inputs and XLR output.
Units I’m considering.
Denafrips Hestia
Ladder Bach
Schiit Kara
Topping Pre90
Vincent Audio SA32
Looking for a unit that measures well & has no/little sound of its own. Right now I’m leaning towards the Kara.
