Preamp suggestion for Quicksilver M120 amps


Hello,
looking for a good pre to pair it with Quicksilver M120 mono amps  (KT150).
Appreciate your suggestions!

Use a phono stage with high gain >60db and feed that into your Prometheus TVC you should be right to go with that, even though I find transformer passive volume controls quite colored and softened.
I think the Sutherland PHD can do set at it’s highest 61db.

Cheers George

They don’t need any active pre’s to alter the sound of them Sam said to me.

Sam Tellig of Stereophile had a pair these, his favorite amps. He did a review of my Lightspeed Attenuator passive preamp into them and bought it (for trade price).
In the review he said it put your "active preamps feet into the fire". This was taken from the end of year "Recommended Components" issue.

With this sort of input sensitivity and impedance, they really don’t need any more gain from any active preamp
Input Sensitivity 1 volt
Input impedance 100 K ohms
