Preamp recommendation


In the market for a new pre-amp and looking for suggestions. I know this is very subjective to one’s tonal qualities so let’s consider all options in the $2k range.

My current system is analog and I have no interest in digital. Currently running VPI Scout, Elac Alchemy PPA-2, Parasound A21 and Q Acoustics 3050i.

I’m leaning towards a used Parasound JC-2 or Wyred4 Sound STP SE, both in the price range. I had a previous post considering the Jolida or Vincent but have decided not to go hybrid based on inconsistent reviews.

Thoughts?

I have JC-2 and love it. Marantz TT, Sumiko Blackbird, Musical Fidelity M6 Phono. Balanced inputs. There is one on Audiogon now for $1,900. Precision Audio, they will deal. Everyone wants the BP for the home theater bypass. If you don’t you can get a bargain.
