for $400 you ain;'t gonna get much.
Used preamp under $400...
to pair with a newly inherited Parasound HCA 750A. and I'm looking to set up a secondary 2 channel system in a "new" media room. Remote is required but phono is not.
Will be driving Spica TC 60's at first but will probably swap those out for something a little more well balanced on the bass at lower volumes.
I appreciate your help and will be relying on you opinion as auditioning a bunch of used gear probably won't be happening.

rufust OPYeah after trying the passives on the back of the amp first and liking it, I’d go for this as it has a very good 128 step relay remote controlled volume, and it has an active stage "should you want/need to use it". There is the Saga tube/passive for $399 but I don’t think it has as finer volume steps, and as for the active stage, I’d rather the solid state/passive option of the Freya. https://www.schiit.com/products/freya-s These are also good for a little less but no remote, and no active option, and the volume control is not quite as good as the Schiit Freya’s https://www.goldpt.com/sa1.html Cheers George |
As ‘yogi’ noted, I purchased an open box Parasound ZPre3 For my 2 channel listening and am very happy with it. It was bought fully warranted at your price point (actually $350 from Safe and Sound). It’s impressive for the cost. The ZPre is basically the Parasound Classic200 without the DAC or phono stage built-in. |
