Down sizing


I'm thinking of downsizing. I'd like to replace a Primare pre 32 preamplifier, Musical Fidelity M6 vinyl preamplifier and a vintage Tandberg TR 2060 receiver with a preamplifier that has a phonostage, pre out for a subwoofer and XLR in and out. I'd prefer SS but might consider tubes. I'm presently running my TT to the Musical Fidelity then the Tandberg. My computer goes to the DAC=>Preamp=Power amp. The problem is having to change up the speaker cables when switching back and forth from the Tandberg to the power amp. I want a preamp that can handle the analog vinyl and SS computer sides in one box. I like (near) analytical sound, but meaty and a precise sound stage. I don't care for a warm sound, so as close to neutral as possible. Budget 5K max used. Any suggestions? I've noticed some preamps have "Main Out" (Audio Research SP20, McIntosh C2200). Is that the same as Pre Out? Can I connect a subwoofer to a "Main Out?"

So what are you down sizing? It sounds like you  want to get rid of your preamp and get another preamp. Wouldn’t that be a lateral move?

@curiousjim , I am presently running 2 systems. One vinyl, the other digital. Both systems share the same speakers. The speakers are bi-wired. So If I want to listen to a record after listening to computer files (or vice versa), I have to move speaker cables back and forth between the Tandberg receiver and the Power amp. I want to stop this.

System 1 Vinyl playing path:

Pioneer TT

Musical Fidelity M6 Vinyl Phonostage

Tandberg Receiver

System 2 Digital playing path:

Computer

DAC

Preamp

Power amp

I want a new preamp that has: 

1)     Built-in Phonostage

2)     Pre out for subwoofer

3)     XLR in connections for my DAC and out connections for my power amp.

The new preamp with built-in phonostage would replace:

1)     Primare Pre32 preamp (has no phonostage)

2)     Tandberg vintage receiver

3:     Musical Fidelity M6 Vinyl phonostage

The TT would then be directly connected to the "new" Preamp/phonostage box. Both the digital and vinyl sides would be connected to the "new" Preamp/phonostage and play from the Power amp. No more speaker cable switching and eliminating the need for the Tandberg receiver. 3 old boxes gone, 1 to replace them all  :)

The Schiit Ragnarok in the Fully loaded version has both phono and digital input. You can connect both a computer and a tt to it.

It sounds great for its price but only has 60w so you may want to avoid very hard to drive speakers. 

Going up in price you have the Moonriver Audio amps.

Apologies to the OP, but I don't understand why you are running two separate amplifiers currently rather than simply running all your sources into your existing Primaire preamp. Is there something about the sound of the Tandberg Receiver that you prefer to the Primaire?
