I would highly recommend taking a look at Eastern Electric Avant. Yes, it's really that good.
Preamp for magepan 3.7 and Sanders amp combo
Currently have an older Audio Research. L's15. Looking for a nice upgrade suggestion. Think tube pre might be the way to go. If you were going to a newer ARC model and price was an issue where would you suggest? The Refs are out of my price range. La26 or 27? Thanks for any suggestions.
