Best Preamp for under $1750.00


Seeking recommendations for a preamp in the $750 to $1750 range. Balance of system consists of Aerial 8's, Bryston 7B's, and CAL CL-15. Room acoustics and speakers would favour lean over lush; I'm looking for something musical without being on the "warm" side. Music preferences include acoustic, jazz, and rock. Will re-cable according to final selections

everybody knows melos is yunk, unreliable, poor service, etc. yust ask leafs! ;~) but, of all the pre's mentioned here, only the joule electra la 100 mklll wood be of any interest to me, to audition it against my melos music director. i'd be innerested in the cat, but no remote-control wolume makes it a non-starter for me...

I got my AR LS2 used for $765. If you prefer a brighter sound, just use Telefunken tube in it. The best part, it only need one tube.

Dekay, I have talked with two people that have great things to say about Placette preamps. Could be a good way to go with SET amp.
I ve just bought a Sunfire theater grand dts preamp use for
$1300.00. This is a great sounding Preamp. Great price
