Pre amp recommendations

Agree with others on the BHK pre.  Rolling tubes is a fun way to play with the sound and maybe get something you like better than the stock tubes.

I have the Parasound P6 connected to PS Audio M700s to Magnepan 1.7i. I love the P6. The feature set alone is amazing and it integrates perfectly with my HT system. Sonically, it does no harm and I’m very pleased with the overall sonics of my system. I had a P5 before and IMO, the P6 is a noticeable improvement. With the P5 I could hear a bit of graininess and the volume control drove me nuts. The P6 improved on both counts and I’m delighted with the improvements they made to the volume control. I’m sure there are sonically better preamps out there but I don’t hear anything out of the P6 that makes me want to change. I can’t comment on the built in DAC nor the phono stage within because I’ve not tried them. I use a Schiit Yggdrasil for the DAC and don’t own a turntable.

SPL Elector is a wonderful and relatively affordable preamp that can scale up to equipment at an exponent. It made an enormous improvement to my system, and just keeps on giving with any upgrade in the chain.

Do check it out 🙏🏼👍🏼

Thank you all again for your help. I will update with possible streamer and pre amp considerations.

y’all gonna make me spend that money. 

Stay away from this website if you're trying to protect your wallet!  :)

I've also heard great things about SPL, but haven't heard it myself.
