I have 2 of the Parasound Halo P3's. I can tell you that they are reliable and versatile.

at the moment dont need a tuner or phono(can always add those options) and have no use for tone controls...and in that regard the ARC stands out...however...the anthem does have a tuner which intrigues me to some degree...thanks...can live without remote too....need 2 pre-outs

I've seen good deals on the Rogue 66. I had this preamp and really liked it - even more than the 99 - simpler circuit.

I have been using a classe model thirty for a few years, and really like it. One for sale near your price range right now in fact! Happy searching!

Hi,
I had the orignal Rogue 99 and the Rogue 66 magnum.
I just bought a Melos Sha-1 and its the most neutral and enjoyable preamp I have owned.
They usually run $450-$500
