Yeah if you can stretch a little to $800 this looks like a good candidate. I just recently was introduced to Mapletree Audio so I’m considering one myself...

Need a line stage preamp
My Acurus LS11 line stage preamp (early 90’s vintage) seems on its way out. Or I think so. I’m noticing that the right channel doesn’t seem as “peppy” as the left channel. I’ve deduced this through various tests and I’m left with my diagnosis.
that being said, I like this little preamp, and I could send it somewhere to be fixed. On the other hand, I could also buy a new or used preamp, but the “law” has laid down the law and she’s nixing anymore serious spending.
FYI, I use the preamp to run an ARC Classic 60 amp.
My budget is only $500, so unless I can find an equivalent pre I’ll be forced fix it. The question is who does good electronic testing and repair or can anyone suggest an equivalent component?

I got one of these and like it alot: http://tubes4hifi.com/SP10.htm Hits your price point, does a nice job...supposedly the circuit is modeled on the C-J preamps of yore. This can be ordered from China on Ali-Express too, but Ray provides a warranty and US based support. |
