Preamps w/ best transparency/top end, no brightnes


In your experience, what preamps, preferably tube and with both line and phono capability, have the best combination of transparency and top end extension without having a distant image and sounding bright or excessively lean ? Thank you very much.

Opus88 - After a number of years of searching for these same qualities, I have settled on the Shindo Giscours preamp. To my ears, the Giscours strikes a perfect balance between transparency, tone and dynamics.

Previous preamps in my system have included (in order): Thor Audio TA1000, Thor Audio TA2000, Audio Zone PRE-T1, Modwright 9.0SE and Shindo Monbrison.

I encourage you to take a look (and listen) to any of the preamps in the Shindo line and judge for yourself.

Best,
Wayne
