Try a BAT VK-33SE tube pre or a VTL TL5.5 tube pre. They're a step above the rest in that price range. The BAT has a mono switch that sounds better with some material like King Crimson Red album for example. maybe Rogue Audio RP7
Help me find a pre-amp
Hello everyone. I’ve done loads of searches & reading of threads on here. I need to find a pre amp & make a final decision on amp to upgrade my sound. Source will be purely digital (Qobuz) streamed from Aurender A200 (my two channels are also used for TV). Synergistic research cables. For power amp I’m down to Rogue DragoN or a McIntosh 612. Speakers are Chapman T-7. I want the shityy recordings of 70s & 80s rock to come to life & fill the room(Rush, Van Halen etc)
The budget I have in mind for a pre is <$5k.
From all I’ve read here The Modwright L100 seems to be highly recommended, but I have not heard it.
Thanks for your opinions!
