Preamp recommendations up to $2000

Tvad,

When will you get the Juicy Music?

Tvad,

I'd be very interested in your observations on the Juicy Music pre.

Xrayz,

I'm in a similar boat as you regarding a possible pre-amp upgrade in the same general price range. I have identified many options including some mentioned here. I think when and if I do it, I will create a short list and then look to see which ones match up best to my amp in regards to output impedance and sensitivity levels to narrow it down further. I have no idea yet at this point exactly where that would leave me.

One option I would consider that would not get much mention otherwise I think is a vintage Tandberg pre-amp only because I have owned a Tandberg receiver (TR2080) and mated it with my system with very excellent results in the past and I think a Tandberg pre-amp would be even more exceptional.

Tvad,

The switchable output impedance settings is intriguing to me.

How is the detail and imaging accuracy with each?

Does it have a phono pre-amp built in that can take a low out MC cart?

Also, how many outputs does it provide? Can it support a processor and output for recording concurrently?

Tvad,

What are your impressions compared to other Preamps you are familiar with?

What do you think a Peach would do for my system?

Tvad,

Thanks.

Keep the thoughts coming.

The Peach is high on my consideration list for next pre-amp in my system at some point.
