+1 for both the Backert Labs and Rogue Audio recommendations. I've run both and it's hard to pick a winner. The Rogue RP-7 (balanced but no phono) seems fuller and warmer, and that Backert just has magic inside. I'd be happy with either so get both and rotate them 😊
Tube preamp match with Solid Stare amp
I'm looking for recommendations for a balanced TUBE pre amplifier..preferably one that also has a phono input.. with a low output impedance. I'm currently using an Coda No.8..which was designed with balanced in mind.. but it has a pretty low balanced input impedance of just 10k ohms. Price.. I wouldn't like to spend more than 6k.
Thank you all :)
