Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition

Dont u get a better linestage by spending 10 to 15k?

2500 seems low endish with limits

@mikem  Thanks and thats interesting. I fear that passives will leave the cold.

Supratek gain is adjustable via a knob on top of the units. I have used mine with amps with input sensitivities from .75-2.4 volts with no issues. It will have no issues with your Odyssey amp if that is what you are still using.  

Linear Tube Audio MZ2 is by far the best preamp I’ve heard in that price range.  And that’s with the stock 12sn7’s.

It should leave “mostly “ what’s there and not add or subtract. Sounds like you want to “adjust” your sound. Not all passives are created equal, by topology or component quality. As with most things..  

I’ve owned amps and sources where a passive would be a detriment, but my current amp sounds best with a passive. Trial and error.. and some money..
