The most transparent preamp I have heard is Concert Fidelity CF-080LSX2. Can find on used market for great prices. Here is an old review: http://v2.stereotimes.com/post/the-concert-fidelity-cf080lsx2-hybrid-preamplifier |
@kiethr The VAC Renaissance V with phono is my current preamp. Simple remote with mute and volume provides me the convenience I desire, but still have to manually change source. The transformer output is able to match to any power amp and currently drives my Ayre VX5/20. Another solid feature is the phono section that VAC is know for and it performs well with my Madake, Purpleheart, or Windfeld Ti cartridge. You should seek out a demo or at the least call VAC and speak with Kevin or Brent about your system goals. I have owned 3 VAC preamps over the last 15 years. Factory support is excellent no matter what level of their equipment you own. Sorry to sound like a crazy fan but I guess I am... Rick |
