Why go low end? You can get a used Adcom GFP-565 for under $500. It is a very good pre-amp and it has a headphone jack. I also suggest using Kimber interconnects.
A used anthem pre 1L tube pre amp . Used about $700.HAS HEADPHONE JACK. No trntble.jacks.Current tube Preamps works very nice with solid state amps.best of both worlds.Check reviews.
Would it be best to stay with a Carver preamp to go with the carver amp? Because the two options for Carver amps are the 26TV for 239 or the 29Tv for 499. That Adcom does look good, but how does it compare to the Carvers? I think the Anthem may be a little more than I want to spend. Thanks for the advice. =)
