Wanted Preamp


Which preamp in YOUR opinion is the most musical, has the best 3-D image, a good soundstage and has the best dynamics and PRAT? Don't care is it's SS, tube or whatever, I just want your OPINION in a preamp that meets the above criteria.

I had a Kondo M1000 ($95,000) and then was sent a SMC VRE-1b to try. It smoked the Kondo in every area. It has the best siunbdstage and 3D imaging of anything I've heard!

Take a look at the VAS/Cayin Citiation I, a knock off of the HK I unit of yesteryear that is a marvel of design. The VAS has a center channel out. I have the unit, very satisfied, great sound. Under $5K.
