thanks for the suggestions... i should have mentioned in my post that budget is around $2k new or used.
if it matters, amp is Pass XA30.5 and speakers are Revel Gems.

Lively and Dynamic SS Preamp...
i'm looking to replace my tube preamp with something solid state that is lively, forward and dynamic - and has remote controlled volume. willing to go new or used; multiple outputs (amp and sub) and balanced inputs and outputs are a plus, though not absolutely required, as these can be remedied by y-cables and adapters. phono stage is a huge plus, though again, this can be worked around.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Bel Canto Pre2p. Don't know the seller, but the preamp is all you're looking for. |
It would be nice to know what tube preamp you are replacing. Wouldn't the matching Pass preamp be the logical choice? If your budget does not allow the purchase of a proper preamp maybe a different amplifier should be considered. Maybe you need more power than 30 watts to get the dynamics you are looking for. |
