Recommended Pre-Amps under 1k?

Good day everyone! I am looking at Pre-Amps under 1k. I know it’s a very tight budget….

So far the Schiit Freya S and Freya + are well regarded. I am open to any suggestions. It does not need to have a DAC or phono input just FYI.

thanks guys

Read up on it, it was built for 2 channel. Truly balanced. PM me I have one in the box collecting dust.

This will take me well down the road. The 6000cdt pairs well and sounds incredible. The two PA3’s used as baby mono blocks sound like they took a tier upscale. Sounds Amazing, so happy!
