| Best Options In A Balanced Preamp Under $1500.00? The PS Audio PCA2 is another you could add to the list. There's one listed here now but the price is a good 40% too high IMO. I owned one for a while, nice smooth operation and neutral sound. | |

| USB DAC or CDP for $200? Got my AudioAdvisor flyer in the mail yesterday and noticed the Dragonfly is on sale for $149. | |
| Replace Amp or Preamp? A few years ago I owned the Proceed Pre you ask about and was not impressed with it. Can't recall much about it other than being unimpressed. There are not a lot of preamps listed in your price range, and none of the SS pres in the I have no exper... | |
