Hi,

I am on the lookout for a Pre Amp to go with my EWA M-50 Power Amp. I am currently using Ali's Slagle Passive Pre which is superb, and I can keep as long as I like with the probability of purchase, but I'm wondering if there is anything out there that isn't too expensive ( under £1000 S/H ) that would compete with it, or possibly better it ( not easy I bet ).

Would need to include a minimum of 3 inputs, Headphone out and remote control ( no line of site )

The Croft Epoch I had a short time ago was nice, but the gain was all wrong, I think the M-50 needs 22k rather than 47k, is that right?

Jerry's Bel Canto Pre3 looks good but it has green led screen, but I'm not keen on green lol.

I wonder if it would easier to connect a headphone amp to the Slagle output? Then forget about the remote?

Your thoughts, recommendations much appreciated.

Mike.
