Thinking out loud: solid state Linestage < $2k?


Just pondering out loud. Curious about solid state line stages under $2k USD.

Dynamic and maybe a little forward in Presentation.

3 inputs (min)
2 outputs (minimum)

no phono, no dac, no headphone.

single ended only

Mono switch a plus.

able to drive power amp with 22k ohm input.

not sure about the output impedance but the AVA Vision SLR seems about perfect.

any others I should look into?

What exactly do you mean by “a little forward in Presentation?”  Are you looking for a lot of detail or are you talking about an upfront soundstage?
@soix  good question. I think I’m wanting a not laid back presentation. 
It makes sense in my head but I’m not sure I can put that into words.

@jjss49  the solid state Vision SLR pretty much ticks all the boxes. That may very well be my next.
Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE which is on sale. Owned one for seven years and it plays and sounds great with anything. Also there is the ability to upgrade it in the future.

Works with your amp as I've used it with Kismet and Khartago in the past.  The AVA is also a great choice just not as flexible for the future.
