Nu Force 9v3 Mono Recommendations

[tapid]

So, everyday can be different and exciting ( read costly ) on eBay and this was certainly no different. So I need a nice pre amp to match my Nuforce 9v3 mono blocks
that I was fortunate enough to win on the auction site recently. These are class D amps, being genuine analog switching amplifiers capable of driving low impedance loads ( 320 watts @ 2 ohms )
I know its unlikely anyone, or at least not many would have tried these monos but any input would be appreciated on ideas for a pre amp. Budget would be around 400 ish, but that could well
end up stretching like a rubber band me thinks !. Thanks for looking.

certainly found the saga to be very able for the money . I will be getting out the schitt freya to use with my class D monoblocks soon . however the bel canto pre 3 [vbs ] is an exceptional match with them so it may not be too soon

Thanks Phil. Sort of suggestion I was looking for. Always hard to beat a bit of Schiit !

The quad vena 2 is an excellent amp that I use in pre mode.
Has remote as well. Even Bluetooth should you wish.
Been very happy with sound. Also handy to have a small size integrated as a back up

I have a black Primare Pre 30 which is very nice and fully remote controlled if it would interest you Brian?

I’d need £500 plus postage for it but I think it’s well worth it and should hold its value well.

Very well built piece of kit.

Edit: It’s fully balanced input to output but offers RCA connections too!

Hi Brian,
You need a pre with balanced out to max out those Class D amps

Thanks David. Have you ever worked on or no anything about these nuforce amps ?. Thanks for the replies everybody. Something to ponder over in the days/ wks to come.

Hi Brian,
I have-a while back now-and they definitely did better with a balanced out pre

Thanks David. Yes, the reviews and the guy I bought them off say they can be sensitive to cable swapping. Save up for a balanced output pre then lol

the schiit freya solid state has balanced out and just slightly above your budget
