The Schiit Freya+ is a great preamp for the money and gives you options for passive or active with tubes thrown in if you want them. I’ve got one on one of my systems and I love it. I’ve heard good things about the JC-2 as well.
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?
