Look at a Krell KAV-280p preamp and then re-cap the power supply. Make sure to increase the 4x3300uf main power supply capacitors to 4x6800uf. This makes a huge difference and fixes the typical Krell "cold and bright" sonic signature. Cost of the preamp is typically $1200-1400. Cost of capacitor parts is probably $50-60 plus labor.
Preamp under $2,000 used
I'm looking for good suggestions on a used, less than 10 years old preamp to pair with my Mark Levinson 532h amp and Revel F206 speakers. Currently using an Anthem MRX510. Looking for a little more resolution.
I've reviewed Levinson, Ayre and Parasound Halo JC as great reviewed preamp. Any suggestions?
