Preamp Suggestions for a (mostly) Vintage Rig
I'd like to decouple my stereo rig from my home theater's pre-amp/processor. Please recommend the best stereo preamp for my setup (preferences and current rig described below).
My Preferences
- Type: Vintage Tube (though I could be persuaded to something SS)
- Price: Less than $800
- Other: (1) I don't want/need a bunch of tone knobs; and (2) I don't mind doing a DIY to restore something great (that might actually be fun)
My Rig
- Source: Thorens TD-125 mkII w/ Grado Prestige Green cart
- Phono Pre-Amp: ClearAudio Nano-Phono
- Pre-Amp (current): Integra DHC-9.9 Pre-amp/Processor
- Amp: McIntosh MC-250
- Speakers: Mirage FRx-Nine
