Has anyone had experience using a Primaluna evo 300/400 preamp with the new Coda S 5.5 amp? What other tube preamps in the $3-5000 used price range would be good?
I have a McIntosh c47 and Ayon stealth DAC--all tube-- which can also be used as a preamp. I am looking for a bigger/fuller sound to fill my room. I felt a good tube preamp would do the trick.
You may want to consider looking for a used VTL TL 6.5 series 1, Well within your price range and will easily drive your coda amp using the balanced outputs. Super dynamic sounding pre.
You should be aware that VTL’s reputation for support/repairs, especially for used equipment, is abysmal. Not a small consideration IMO. Forgot to mention Spatial offers a trial period for the Raven if you’re interested in it.
