SS Preamp with Balance Control

My McIntosh C42 sounds sublime and has a wonderful balance control.

I use a Jeff Rowland Capri SS pre. It has balance control on its remote, home theatre bypass, differentially balanced and single ended input/outputs, optional phono stage. I prefer it over my own ARC Ref 3. I have posted information on it on several threads, including:

The device sounds reasonably good out of the box, then keeps improving for perhaps 1000 hours of music making, until it becomes truly outstanding.

PS Audio GCP 200 and it's on the rmeote!

I have one in my system, replacing a Modwright 9.0SE and a Conrad Johnson 16LS before that. No complaints. Leave it on all the time. Not your typical SS pre if you like the sound of a tubed pre.

For a difficult room, perhaps a TacT might be best.
