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

Good points! And yes I would want a good remote. The Topping seems very hard to beat at a budget price. 

 Is a new preamp what you are looking for,or are you open to used?  I have found that buying used got me into some wonderful gear that I would have never even been able to consider on the new market. Maybe something to consider. 

For under $1000 I also think the Schiit Freya+ to be a good option. Otherwise used is a great way to go.
