WANTED: preamp, £2k+ budget, any ideas?

How does it work with the battery thing? You need to recharge at some point I assume?

The battery is constantly charged so it's some sort of capacitor as the running time on batteries alone is quite short (10 to 30 minutes)

Thanks guys both avenues worth exploring.

There's a very nice Audio Research LS25 on audiomarkt (Advert-ID: 6114956393)


Being an Italian market one Tom, it may well be UK-spec 240v.

There's a lovely Jadis on that site too.

I have an Ayre K-1xe with a large off board power supply (as it came from the factory). It's the best preamp I've had. I may selling soon as I'm moving and may downsize the hifi.
