Which Preamp "internals" would you choose? Based on picture only
jond 2,310 posts 10-05-2017 9:36pm @aberyclark what happened to "no black boxes"? Those all look like boxers to me and as I said in your other thread you can really stretch your budget buying used. Or is this a different project? yes. This is a temporary preamp until i save enough for a much higher $3000 plus one. I thought i had a nice few months old primaluna dialog snagged here on AG, however, the seller tragically passed away ( see other thread) |
Also This Pro-ject all analog Prebox looks interesting..no internal pics $360.00 http://www.audioaffair.co.uk/pro-ject-pre-box-ds2-analogue-pre-amplifier?https://static.qobuz.com/info/IMG/jpg/Interieur-72.jpg As auxinput say: In the end, you get what you pay for in most cases. |
Man, you've been having a rather tough go of this preamp search. I wouldn't touch Pro-Ject gear (especially electronics), and the Schiit stuff elicits a "meh" response from me (and I own a Yggdrasil). Though it's not exciting compared to higher-end Rogue offerings, and priced higher than the other 2 options -- the RP-1 is going to be well put together, will probably sound very good, and easily represents the best option of these 3. Though it would still be wise to wait for the used market to yield a good deal on something that checks all your boxes. Stopgap measures cost extra time + money, and can be frustrating endeavors. Personally I'd wait (very) patiently for a nice used Rogue Athena to crop up. The 6H30pi tube absolutely rocks in line-stage applications! |
