Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit.
What are some other budget friendly preamps besides Schiit, the king of budget electronics? With similar quality of build and sound, both solid state or tube options would be welcome.
Thanks,
Mike
Look into... -Bottlehead Moreplay (tube kit @ <$500) -Musical Paradise MP-701 MkII (ready to go tube for <$800) The MP can be purchased from a vendor in the US or Canada for less $ than those offered from China. https://www.tnt-audio.com/ampli/bottlehead_moreplay_e.html https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=175902.0

@elliottbnewcombjr said, "tell the wife NO MORE SHOES (just for a year)". Uh, a divorce will cost you a LOT more than any preamp. Tread carefully. |
The Parasound P6 and the Z-Pre 3 sound virtually the same as preamps, that is pretty much silent. The difference is the features, the P6 has a DAC, balanced connections, and a variable crossover for the sub. If you don't need those features I would get the Z-Pre. I own the ZPre and have used it in my desktop system and my main system. Small, nice remote, sounds fantastic and not just for the money. Extremely clean signal. |
