Recomendations for a line stage only tube pre-amp


I am considering the Supratek line or the mac c2200. My amp is a mc352 driving N802's. My listening leans towards Diana Krall, Rebecca Pigeon et al as well classic rock. I'm looking to keep it under 3K. Thanks for any input.

Thanks. Right now my pre is a CJ Premier 10. I only listen to cd/sacd and have a Sony 777xes. I like the warmth that a tube stage brings, so I'm looking to upgrade.

If you like the tube sound, I'd suggest you try a used Jadis JPL. Forget the CD input with its additional tube and use the tape input for the best sound. Very dynamic (slightly better on macrodynamics than my JP80 was, though not microdynamics) and natural sounding. I went to my dealer years ago to replace my ARC SP-11 with an LS-2 line stage, heard the JPL and was smitten.
SAS Audio makes a wonderful linestage that is transparent and very musical. Bound for Sound loved it. I am currently demoing it in my system and am enjoying it immensely. Ste Sammett who runs the company is a great guy.
Hello Larry,

You should also check out the deHavilland Ultraverve. It's an octal tube pre and it did wonders for my system. Good luck

Cheers
