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

Simple, fantastic sounding, and affordable either in remote or non-remote version. I've had the 6922 remote version since 2014 without a hiccup...just a superb pre.

Used Backert - great suggestion, but hard to find. Forgot to mention: Aric Audio. Be willing to stretch the budget, and not limit yourself too much, on a preamp.

Schiit Audio: Audio Products Designed and Built in Texas and California It is surprisingly good. I used it a few times with a FM tuner.
