Still just don't like the sound of passives though - admit I haven't heard that many but they always seem to be a little... lightweight and lacking drive to me. Maybe they are too dependent on system matching to work consistently enough to be a broad recommendation IMO. I'm lazy so remote control is a must too LOL!

agreed , given your love of audionote . I think anything else would be second best although an mfa would be worth an audition as marvellous vfm s/h and rather good in many casesOriginally Posted by Tarzan
l agree Audionote pre, will suit the rest of your kit and look cool also- a nice problem to have Lee.
the puresound L10 would also fit well

Lee, I know from AlanB (my neighbour) that you are a valve man, but if you could be persuaded away from the dark side why not try a Lejonklou Sagatun.
Alan can tell you what they sound like, or feel free to pop round and hear for yourself

Yup, very nice indeed.
I did a review for Hifi Pig - linkie on the Gpoint site.
I'd also suggest a Restek Consens if you can find one - I've had mine for about 2 years now and love it dearly.

I am quite impressed with my Pro-Ject Pre Box RS. It's well below budget.
