What tubed preamp that is not too fussy ?


Would like to experiment to see if it is for me. Will go to
a Rotel amplifier (200wx5) with 33k input impedence. It will be fed by an Audio Aero Prima CD player. Would prefer
$500 or less new or used. Would like something that wouldn't take a lot of tweeking, easily acquired and easy to resell. It would be used with JM Lab Electra 926 speakers with rock and blues music.

Get a Sonic Frontiers SFL-1. One tube, ultra-long life, wonderful sound and build quality. $350-450 USD used.
audio note m1 is an excellent value and sounds very good at its price point...used audible illusions modulus 3a.....used VTL Ultimate ....
Second the c-j PV10. I've had a PV-11 since 1991 with zero problems. A friend has had a PV-10 for 6+ years with similar success. Should you ever need it, c-j's support is topnotch even if you bought it used.
Another vote for either the LS-7 or PV-10. The LS 1 or 3 are closer to your price range however and they are good line stages for the price.:)
