Preamp suggestion

check out the C-J PF-R it is a low hype, superb performer.Dynamic,detailed and quiet

Berning TF10 or TF12 is the way to go! The liquidity of the Berning complements the somewhat dry sound of the Treshold. Believe me, this combo is true magic.

This preamp is almost unknown to the outside market but it is indeed a super preamp comparing to preamps costing alot more. But the price is more that you quoted but they only sell direct for the company. The manufacture is BWS by Bruce Wenger the owner. They give you a 35 day money back if you don't like it. It is a four nos tube preamp using the very best parts. AlSo,check out the web page. www.BWS-tube.com

i almost hate to say the word - adcom - their 750 pre is a phenom - stereophile class "a" for under $1200 - at least listen to it

Adcom GFP-750, pre-amp designed by Nelson Pass.No competition, in any price.
