McIntosh C2600. I purchased mine for $4500 as a store display model. Not sure it was ever actually plugged in. Very reliable. FWIW
Tube Line Stage around $5k
Thinking of replacing my Conrad Johnson Classic 2 SE. Its a great sounding preamp but I've had it since '13 and am looking for something with remote. Dual pre-outs a must . Volume only remote is fine but volume and source would be ideal. Thanks.
