Top Ten Pre Amp Solid State of all time?

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!!

Would add ...Carver Lightstar run passive/balanced,..Martin .

I would add 'The Limited Edition' manufactured by Gryphon in Denmark, very often abbreviated as 'LE'. It has an excellent phono section, a product which is excel at Gryphon before they produce the preamp and amplifier. 'LE' only produced 100 sets for worldwide distribution and hence its name, 'Limited Edition'. The price for a good versin of 'LE' should be around usd3,500..

Klyne SK 4A or 5.Great sound and good phono section.
