Preamp Help


Currently looking to replace my Parasound ZPre3 preamp with a TUBE Preamp.I’m looking for a Preamp that has a remote that will allow me to adjust the Treble and Bass as well as having a Subwoofer Out.

 Not looking to brake the back, my budget is $1k and was wondering if there are options other than the Schiit Freya +.

Used could be an option, but please no suggestions of something I’ve got spend months trying to locate or over my budget.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

The Parasound Zpre3 and P6 have remote control that allow you adjust treble and Bass

The P6 is probably a good preamp in your price range. Good tube preamps are going to cost more than that and will have few features. 

I think the  Schiit Freya + is a great choice. 
 

You will find that bass and treble controls become less prominent as you get to higher performance gear. They tend to degrade the signal and don’t actually accomplish what they are supposed to do. I have tried them repeatedly. 
 

my rule of thumb is only upgrade by 2x or more… the Freya + fits and the Schiit is a great value for the money… I got one for fun… great value. You can see my systems under my I’d.

A lot of great advice so far.  Sometimes in life,our wants,and our budgets are in great conflict.  Life is full of compromises.  

I think the  Schiit Freya + is a great choice.

Good call. I would like to try one myself, just for fun. I don't really need another preamp.
