Hi all,
Looking for an active preamp. Would prefer something solid state i think. Would consider valves too
No Phonostage necessary. RCA inputs and outputs ARE necessary.
Budget is around £500
Open to suggestions too.

This is DIY territory IMO, would be tempted by a Pass DCB1. Haven’t been up to date recently on what kits and stuff are on DIYAudio, but would take a look. :)
Have a look for a Forte Model 2. Yes, it's a Nelson Pass design and sounds remarkably good. I should have kept mine.
It also has one of the best inbuilt phono stages around.
You'll want one if you read this bit of info here: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussio...ort_order=desc
I have a WD Pre3 and Psu3. A valve preamp that uses massive output transformers in order to have a very low output impedance. Can post some pics if you are interested?
£500 + delivery - it’s quite heavy.
Hmm. I'm just pondering if I should consider parting with my VTL Deluxe valve pre-amp. It's a fabulous sounding thing.
Hi Oliver
Keep your eyes open for an adcom gfp-750.
It should be in your budget and is a stonker, much overlooked but fantastic.
