Im looking for a 2 channel pre amp in the $550 or less range. I cant seem to find any pre's but 5-7 channels. Im a stereo guy, so if you guys know of any, it would be a great help.
I picked up my 2 week old Parasound Halo P3 ($800.00 Retail) for $550.00 on ebay..
It's a hell of a Pre Amp with Direct In's and Out's in both non balanced RCA and fully balanced XLR. Direct In and Out defeats the tone shaping section of the Pre Amp. There is a nice built in Phono Pre Amp (sounds good) and a Processor Loop. All internal components are top shelf Nichicon, Alps etc.. Check AudiogoN maybe you can pick one up for a decent price.. There are numerous other Pre's to consider also..
S.S or Valve? If you want Valve check out the seller on eBay who builds and ships the Symphonies Linestage Tube Pre from HongKong. Nice unit, excellent build and resonable Price. The seller is YS Audio I believe.
