A used CJ PV-15 goes for around $1,600, and it has an excellent tube phono stage. Very neutral and dynamic.
Looking for a Preamp up to $3K
Need balanced in X2, balanced out X2.
Own a Pass X350.5 amp.
GCPH phono pre with gain.
PerfectWave DAC with Bridge goes balanced into Pass (no pre)
GCPH goes RCA into Pass.
I'm tired of swapping cables as one could imagine. Who knew I'd get back into vinyl - but I did.
Been seriously considering building a Audio Note L3 with some really good parts.
The Wyred4Sound SE looks intriguing.
Both offer connectivity that I seek.
Currently have no preamp but had a Cary SLP-05 (great pre, don't ask).
Any help or experience would be appreciated.

. Audio Research LS-10. A monster of a preamp for about $2k. It is the best solid state preamp they ever made. It sold for $5,500 new. They rarely come up for sale, if you see one, grab it quick. . |
