The Anthem STR is a phenomenal preamp for the price. Specs are great but the flexibility and sound characteristics are even better.
Reasonably priced preamplifier
At some point in the future, I would like to own a preamplifier from either CH Precision or Soulution but looking at their prices, I do not think that it is going to happen soon. So, until such time, I wanted to ask from experienced users here if there are preamplifiers within 7-8k (used) range that are different from the herd and can provide similar kind of performance that CH or Soulution provides?

A couple years ago I ran through a series of highly regarded amplifiers. I'm a tube guy so keep that in mind, but I landed on ModWright, in particular their ls100. It's not fully balanced but Dan will put a transformer in it if you want. For me, this preamp is clear without being overly analytical, it's quiet, and it's musical as all hell. The only thing I dont like about it is the remote seems kinda cheap. The music room sells them and they have a pretty generous return policy. There are other models you might like better as well but I've been very impressed by Dan and his products |
@gopaljeen Townshend Audio Allegri Reference Passive preamp. There are a few lightly used ones for sale on us audio mart in your price range. It has received many excellent reviews. |
