Looking for preamp which is good at BOTH single-ended AND balanced output


I am looking for a preamp which sounds good at BOTH single-ended or Balanced output. My DAC has both single-ended and Balanced output. I have vintage tube amps which only allow single-ended input. I also have SS amp which only allows balanced input. I use both amps alternatively. Sometime I even use both together for bi-amp setting.

Is there any good used preamp under $3000 recommended? I have opportunity to get BAT VK-30SE or 31SE, I know they are good for balanced output, are they equally good for single-end output?

Try finding a used Graaf 13.5BII, you‘ll get both and be hard pressed finding a better preamp
even use both together for bi-amp setting.


Are you using an active line level crossover when biamping these two amps. The balanced connections will be louder because there is a 6db increase in gain.
