Reasonably Priced PreAmp without Phono ?

The Quicksilver is tubed, with a couple of 12AX7s (one per channel). Here's a link to more info:

Jon,
Thanks !How about a solid state pre amp ?
My home is in a very remote area and I prefer the reliability of ss.

Get yourself a Accuphase C200....on Ebay for $500 and there's a guy in Reno that can mod it for 300. I have two of these one for my main and the other for my bedroom system. I guarantee it will be the best $800 preamp you ever heard.....possibly better than 5-6k preamps. When my tech upgraded it the output signal mirrored the test signal...not many preamps do that. the dynamics,transperency and soundstage are stunning.

You're getting lots of good suggestions here and I suspect all would work fine.

One last word on the Quicksilver gear. I'm not sure I'd let reliability discourage your purchase in this case. I've owned two pairs of amps, a linestage and a phono pre (the preamp, phono pre, and my present amps, Silver Monos, were all purchased used) and I've never had even a hiccup with any of them. YMMV. Good luck.
