Suggestions on Balanced Pre-Amp for Claytons

I'm looking for a new pre-amp suggestion in a balanced system I'm putting together. I'm looking to maintain a musical, detailed, transparent, and balanced sound. Do not want dry, lean, analytical, or trebel, mid range, or bass over-emphasized sound. Been looking at Gryphon, MBL 6010D, Simaudio P-8, Shindo, BAT 52/REX, and Cary SPL-05. I'd like a black finish, remote, and keep price new or used in the $10-15 K range.

Has anyone had an opportunity to audition and compare the new M200 monoblocks to the M100 monoblocks or even the M300s? The M100s were and still are very viable SS amps that are very musical with great "high definition" reality sound and stage.

There is a review in Positive Feedback addressing the new 200's, which were considered an improvement. The 300's were recognized as part of a best room award at 2007 RMAF. 300's have larger power supply and bigger capacitors for even better resolution and dynamic detail.

Glide3,

I'm interested in the Reflection Audio with inboard phono. Have you heard the phono section before or just the linestage version?

Hello cvman,

I certainly can vouch for the BAT REX. Wow! IMO it probably is the best audio purchase I've ever made. Hope you find what you are looking for.

Enjoy,
Tom
