Jolida Fusion Preamp is very musical. Lots of gain. Will definitely wake your system up. For 2K you could get one with some upgrades. I have the Vishnay resistor upgrade and upgraded tubes.
Preamp w/ a budget of $2000
Hi All,
I'm looking to replace my NAD preamp. It is now the weak link in my system. I would like to keep the budget to 2K or less. Requirements: Pre out or sub out, MM phono section, and a remote.
Associated equipment:
Amps: Anthem MCA 20, Red Dragon M-100 monoblocks
Sources: Bluesound node 2, TV, ProJect Debut Carbon
Speaker(s): I do a lot of switching out- Spatial Audio M3 Turbo S, Gallo 3.1 reference, MMGs, Green Mountain Audio Continuum I, DIY Nola Brio Trio Clones
Subs: Paradigm Monitor Sub 12" x2, REL T-7 x 2
Cables: Anticable IC's throughout, Anticable Speaker wire, Audio Magic Speaker cable
I am a detail freak and tend to like my sound towards the more clinical side of things. Of course imaging, soundstage depth/width, and image focus are important. I listen to a lot of Jazz and recently a fair bit of electronic as well.
Any and all advice or direction would be appreciated.
Best- Ben

I have a Bryston BP6 too, it is what mofojo says. Bought it on here about 5 years ago for $1200 bucks, use in bedroom system, has nice headphone amp as well. I also have a Van Alstine Vision pre , all Class A , that sells for $899 new without remote . Bught new last year .Can be had with superb Van Alstine phono pre for extra $329 , 299$ for remote (I don't like remotes myself.) It sounds more musical than the BP6 and has an even better headphone amp. Drives my Senn 650's like a champ which is not easy to do. BP6 is a tad more quite perhaps but that's about it . AVA is best buy on market and sounds great ! Oh, and it has a built in gain-control (low, high) which is very useful to match up with an amp or speaker . |
