Why not a tube linestage preamp, like one from Quicksilver, with a SS phonostage. Some tube preamps have internal SS phonostages.
Looking for preamp reccomendations
Hi, I'm pretty new here but getting excited by my soon to be new system.
TT: Technics SL1210mk2 w/KAB fluid damper, RCA/ground kit
Cart: Ortofon 2M Blue
Streamer: Node 2i
Pre: TBD
Power: MC7270
Speakers: Ohm Super Walsh 4.4012 w/ active subwoofers (on order)
Preamp Requirements:
Phono stage (preferably tube)
Remote
Extra set of line/RCA outs for the sub connections
Budget: $1-$2k
What I like:
Very broad range of music; folk, blues, punk, hip-hop, country
A ~romantic~ soundstage
Something that I can live with for a few years
Something nice to look at, ARC and McIntosh and the like
If the remote option isn't feasible at this price range that is the only requirement I could realistically go without.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions, I've found these forums to be a great deal of help so far.
Thanks
