Preamp under $2,000.


Looking for a preamp under $2k. Found a great deal on a Rotel RC-1590 open box for $1,199. Anyone with experience with them?

I want something that matches well with my Primaluna Dialogue 7 tube monoblocks. They are kind of warm. The Tannoy Revolution xt8f speakers are kind of bright. They go good with the Primalunas. I am pretty sure I want to stick with tubes for the preamp. This is for my second "living room" Sunday morning kind of system. My system in my man room upstairs is killer. Adcom GFE-585se with Dunlavy SC-V speakers. Streaming upstairs, turntable downstairs.
Rogue RP-5 with new tubes on USAaudiomart for $2k.  I think those have a nice phono stage
I have a Musical Fidelity M6 phono stage. My turntable is a Marantz tt-15s1 with a Sumiko Blackbird mc cartridge. I really like the phono setup I have.

Great. Keep it, as the CJ PFR doesn't have one. The rest of the PFR is a Premiere level component, solid state (JFETs), always powered on and has a remote.

Oh, plus it looks beautiful.
I had 2 older Rotel RC 1070s one of them developed some kind of difficulty and I cant remember what but somebody still took it off my hands.  The other one I sold to a friend and its still going strong.  Super bang for buck combination of RC1070 and Rb951.

Then you could look at a Rogue RP-1 even though it still has a phono stage. Then use the extra cash to fit some nice matched tubes.  I saw a couple on USAudiomart but they gets snapped up fast as they are also buck bang items.
