Looking to identify a killer preamp with headphone capability. Phono stage is not a requirement. It would be nice if we could keep the expense below $2K. Thanks Agoners!!
Melos, is excellent. Best headphone amp I ever heard (or had). I now have a Rogue 99, all around a better preamp, but very inefficient with phones (have to turn the volume to 8 or 9 to get moderate sound), and the jack is inconveniently placed in the back of the unit. But it is a killer preamp otherwise.
i'd have to side w/the melos sha-gold/maestro folks. killer linestage, killer headfone amp, awailable used for ~$1k... oh yeah, remote wolume/balance control, too...
