preamp choices under $1K ?


currently have a Cary Audio Cinema 11 that I use for music mainly.  nice pre but it always bugs me that I am running a processor when I just need a stereo + sub preamp. 

is there anything out there used I should look for? i know Marantz makes a stereo pre with preouts.  preouts are a must.

If you can stretch a bit, I’d highly recommend you take a look at the Linear Tube Audio MZ2 at about $1500 new with remote.  You can order it with an extra pair of pre outs to run a sub at no extra cost if you don’t need the speaker output terminals, which you obviously don’t.  As a bonus, it’s also one helluva headphone amp.  Best of luck.
