Looking to identify a killer preamp with headphone capability. Phono stage is not a requirement. It would be nice if we could keep the expense below $2K. Thanks Agoners!!
I will mention the Anthem pre2L although probably not in the same league as the others listed. With a headphone jack, and remote, solid build, and some good reviews it probably is the best bang for the buck.
.......agree with Sonic Frontiers-- either Line 1 or Line 2. I have both-- they are excellent pre-amps and the headphone section of both are great. I use them with Senn. 600s also.
BTW, the Line 1 and 2 sound an awful lot alike with the Line 2 having a bit more smoothness and naturalness, but the differences are not great. The Line 1 can be had for $1000. to $1200., and the Line 2 for $1500. to 1800. Cheers. Craig
