Looking 4 good lower cost pre amp $300 to $600


I just bought a new house and am putting my higher end HT setup in the family room. I will actually have a dedicated room that I will use for two channel. Since I have a higher end HT setup I don't need a high buck two channel setup. Perhaps tube or not????

Whats a good pre amp in the 300 to 400 hundred price range?

Thanks

I would also recommend the AES. Well within your budget with a bit left over to upgrade the chinese tubes.

This is interesting checking all these out. I should mention a pre amp that accents the midrange and not so much attention to the highs. In other words, a bit warmer with a accented midrange. I like a liquid pronounced mids!

Thanks
