Anthem STR preamp has a Mono listening mode. The remote has a mode button and mono is selected from the menu button on the preamp. Run it pure analog or take advantage of ARC (Anthem Room Correction). Includes a decent MM/MC phono stage.
Solid state preamp with a mono switch and remote
I have been a tube guy for quite some time, but would like to pick up a good quality solid state preamp with remote control and a mono switch, just to have as a reference point.
Im looking for recommendations for great sounding units under $5k.
The mono switch seems to be the limiting factor, i checked out the latest “Recommended Components” list and all of the “reasonably priced” solid state options lacked the mono function.
