The Spectral DMC-10. I've owned one since 1985 and still have it. One of the best built, best sounding preamps of all time. Phono section is as good as the best around. Loved it so much, only recently replaced it with a Spectral DMC 20 II, which should last for a long, long time too! One may be had at a bargain price of around $1000.00, if you can find an owner that will part with it!!
