Go for it.....
Need preamp recommendation
Hi everyone :)
I am in the market for a 2-ch preamp to go with my power amp, and am looking for some recomendations. Will prob go used, as I think I can get more value for my money. I would like to limit the sale price @ $4k.
Do I want this?:

Maybe something else?
Thanks in advance.

What power amp do you have? What features do you need from a preamp? I've been looking at preamps extensively as well in that price range. I have been curious to see what tubes would do in the chain to go along with a SS power amp. These three are on my short list - and can all be found under 4k used. The Rogue is a hybrid design and the other tube are all Tube. The Rogue and Backert Labs are made in the US if that matters. - Backert Labs Rumba - Rogue Audio RP-7 - Primaluna EVO 400 |
I want the LTA MZ3 ... has a great headphone section too (world class). Their Berning ZOTL design runs the tubes at lower power for longer tube life. The is said to be an extraordinary preamp/headphone amp. $3700 https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/lta-mz3-preamplifier/ They also make a full size preamp with onboard power supply, with more inputs. Sonically, it’s exactly the same. |
