Preamp recommendations for under $600.00

If you don't need a remote and don't mind an older preamp in the $600 or under price range my favorites are the McCormack TLC-1 Passive Preamp and an Accuphase C200.

If you need a remote a favorite of mine is the Kavent S-33 preamp. It also goes by the Vincent Audio SA-93.

Tube wise I've read good things about the Dared SL2000A.

To get better help let members here know what other components you have in your system or other gear you have enjoyed in the past. Also letting members know what you feel is lacking with your current system will help with recommendations as well.

At that price, I would use a passive unit or a source that has a volume control.

There is a nice Classe thirty for sale on this site for $580.00. I owned Classe gear years ago and it was top shelf.

Second Musical Fidelity A3CR,
Sumo Athena, might find a standard
MUSE 3 (non signature).

Thank you everyone for your thoughtful comments. Yes, I should have mentioned that I am new to the forum. I am just starting a poor man's sound system. I have a Conrad Johnson SA-250 ss power amp arriving any day now. I am looking for some Maggies. Will run an Marantz CD5004. Vinyl will be played on a B&O (I don't recall the model) using a NAD PP2. Sounds like a power condition is important, too.

Again, thank you!

PS: Anyone out there running a Dynaco PAS 3 into a SS amp?
