First Sound w/paramount Special Edition upgrade as first ,
First Sound Deluxe MKII w/paramount upgrade as second ,
Lamm ll2 deluxe[third] and L2 line stage [second ].
mbl 6010D is a very good also, line stage.
Possibly there were also others good preamps,but personaly i prefer the mentioned.

Has anyone used an Allnic L-4000 pre ?
I am looking for a tube pre.
This I need for use with a Cadence Audio - Canasya 845 amplifier.
I had shortlisted a few;
Nagra
Octave
Music First Audio - the best I like - but out of 'budget' [non tube - but super pre amplifier]. May be amongst the 'best of the best' !
The Korean pre - not heard much about - except 6moons.
Can anyone suggest ? Opinion... Please...
Thanks,

Just wondering if a desicion can be made based on the offerings? Synergy with amp must play a big role so it's a good place to start I guess. See what others listed here then peruse the forums to see if any threads mention if the pre matches with the amp one has already.

IMO/IME when you go for synergy its one coloration counteracting another- not a good way to go if you really want neutrality. I recommend choosing equipment on its strengths, if that makes any sense.
