I am putting together my first hifi system. I started out with a budget but that got blown to hell quickly. I am stuck on trying to find a preamp diy or otherwise that is quality without breaking the bank $1000 or under. I wish I could listen to several before I purchase one but alas there are no audio stores around here that have tube preamps I could demo.
I have the following components so far....
CanaryAudio CA-300 8wpc Monoblocks http://www.canaryaudio.com/300.htm
Klipsch Belle's
Custom made isobaric subwoofer disgned by someone who worked for cary which will need a crossover and a ss amp
TMC TMC Speaker cable
Rotel RCD 1072
Turntable plan on picking up a thorens
What preamp would compliment the components I have so far?
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks,
IAIN
