Preamp recommendation


In the market for a new pre-amp and looking for suggestions. I know this is very subjective to one’s tonal qualities so let’s consider all options in the $2k range.

My current system is analog and I have no interest in digital. Currently running VPI Scout, Elac Alchemy PPA-2, Parasound A21 and Q Acoustics 3050i.

I’m leaning towards a used Parasound JC-2 or Wyred4 Sound STP SE, both in the price range. I had a previous post considering the Jolida or Vincent but have decided not to go hybrid based on inconsistent reviews.

Thoughts?

You completely missed the point sunshine, but it doesn't surprise me. The person you put on blast this morning wasn't promoting his product either,. He was discussing a class of product. Kind of like what you are doing here. That didn't stop you from saying that he was. Product protection mode is what you always call it, though he never mentions his own product. The shoe fits on your foot too sunshine. What a hypocrite.
I really like my audio refinement separates.  The Pre-5 is a great preamp but has a lot of gain.
Don Sachs preamp and the Supratek preamps are excellent.  I have them both and they sound phenomenal with my JC1 monoblocks and also with my tube Canary monoblocks.  The best way I can describe the Supratek sound is clean, clear and wide open....
I have the parasound and am quite satisfied, however their customer support is quite poor. Ihave had to find work around for my questions. I was considering on my short list their new jc1 + monoblocks, but due to their support issues have decided on other products
Why no mention of Prima Luna? What is the opinion on Prima Luna? Just asking.
