You’re going to ask me what I’m looking for in a preamp. Beyond what I’ve mentioned, I honestly don’t know.
So, you’ve got a fairly expensive system and about to drop up to another $10k on a preamp, and you can’t communicate THE most important info necessary to make an informed recommendation — what sound characteristics you’re looking for from the new pre? Are you planning on making a purchase decision at this level based on what WE like? This is truly sad, and I shan’t waste my time tilting at someone’s ghost windmill, but I hope everyone else enjoys whacking away. Peace out.
