Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit.


What are some other budget friendly preamps besides Schiit, the king of budget electronics? With similar quality of build and sound, both solid state or tube options would be welcome. 

Thanks,

Mike

128x128mjcmt

used rogue audio RH 5 , headphone amp linestage.

2 tube followers

adjustable gain.

has balanced in and out

not classic tubey but refined, super clear, dynamic driving sound and huge soundstage.  

Parasound New Clasic 200 Pre (the NC 200 Intergrated same but with power).

Lots of input/output options, built in DAC, MM/MC phono, Sub out, Hi-pass / low pass, HT by-pass, and tone controll all fully operational by one of the best remotes anywhere. Each input option can also have its own volume level match.
