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.

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.:)

audible illusions....IID or 3 whatever your budget permits. the only drawback to the units, it is a little hard on the tubes.

if you can stretch, the bat 3vki is a killer and upgradeable/remoteable/phono stage...
