Bel Canto PRE5. All analog. Dead quiet. True balanced. Dynamic Range 125dB. $2,300
The Pre5 is a very nice preamp (I’ve owned it) but for $300 more the Benchmark LA4 is audibly higher in resolution, quieter, and lower in distortion. It also has an additional balanced input over the Pre5, is heavier, and feels much more substantial in use.
The differences in sound are not massive but in A/B comparison they are detectable.
