I'm Mike.
Wanted: Pre Amp
Hi,
I'm thinking of moving on my Croft Epoch Pre Amp but before I do I'd like to see what else is out there first.
Passive/Active?
Minimum of 2 inputs
Silver Fascia?
Not too tall, limited shelf space.
Remote handy but not essential.
Let see what you have to offer, not in a rush.
Budget no more than £500.
Thanks,
Mike.

I'll be putting my Croft Epoch Pre-Amp up for sale later today in a separate advert but until then I'd be happy to trade/swap it for something offered here.

I don't need my Slagle pre any more Mike, can bring it with me tomorrow if you like, hang on to it and give it a good listening to.

“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

That should sound good.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Nothing. :-)
Realised that the miniDSP I'm using has two analogue inputs, one single ended and one balanced. They are not switcheable, but it's no big deal to turn off the phono stage if I'm listening to anything digital - it's valve so only turned on whilst in use anyway.
Everything apart from the vinyl goes through the mytek dac, so connected that using balanced, phono stage to SE inputs. So using digital, I have remote control swiching between sources, as well as remote volume on the miniDSP.
Best preamp is no preamp and all that jazz.
