There is also I believe still a BAT VK3 for $850 here on 'Gon.Big wide stage and BAT build quality.Also look for older stuff without the hype and sex appeal.I am keeping for now a Muse Model 1 which sold for $2500 9 years ago that has a massive seperate power supply and a fantastic hi-gain phon section.It blows away anything out there for less than a grand but because it's "old" I'd be lucky to get $750 for it and it might languish for awhile at $500.Look for some older models as long as they don't have leaky caps etc.
PV-10, PV-11, PV-12, SFL-1 Sig or LS2? Help
I'm looking to sell my SS preamp and move to a tubed pre. I don't want to spend any more money than I am likely to get for my current pre (ARC LS-9) which is probably in the $700 range.
I'm looking for something that will be pretty euphonic, but not overly so.
All of the preamps that I have listed above can be had for the same or less than $700.
Even though my amp is tubed, it tends to be pretty analytical, so I'm looking for something that'll kind of "smooth" things out.
Here's the rest of my system for reference:
ARC CD-2
MSB Link DAC III with P1000, ModWright mods, Upsampling (Just purchased on the 'goN last night.)
Pre (to be determined) currently LS-9
ARC D-115MK2
Magnepan 1.6/QR
Thanks in advance for your help!
