I would recommend to look for an Accuphase C2420/C2450/C2300 one.. Japan’s 100V AC version of first two can be easily converted to US or Europe, not sure about newer C2300. C2420/C2450 has good sounding optional two inputs MM/MC Phono. Built-in (free) headphones amp sounds amazing!
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.
