new preamp


I'm looking at new preamp for under $23000 .Does anyone have any recommendations?
I'm going to go listen to the McIntosh C1100 and the Audio Research Ref 6 SE, maybe the Bermester 077( although that is considerably more than $23000)

Similar setup to above ESL 15a with m900u was running Dac Direct from Dave did not have any pre ,,, could not miss opportunity to get cl1000 ,
It sound so different now with preamp , layers upon layers of music and my Logans never sounded so good , bottom end also opened up significantly .
23K. I would look at the McCormack VRE-1c preamp. One of the best components one can buy.


  Or save some cash and get the Sanders Sound “the preamp”

check them out.

both amazing 

the McCormack is in its own league by a country mile!
Gryphon Zena is by far the best pre I’ve had in my system. My previous preamps were the Mark Levinson 526 and then the Luxman C900u.
@m2team00 I'm thinking of upgrading from my Gryphon Diablo 300 to Antileon Evo stereo in the near future.Would the Zena be the best match for the Antileon Evo ?
