    Default Pre Amp Suggestions

    For a long time I have been feeding my Temple Audio Monoblock's (with supercharger psu) via a Sonos connect and a Bushmaster MKII dac. Recently I have gone down the analogue route and bought an Audio Technica LPw50 turntable. I'm now looking for a Pre Amp that has two or more inputs. The Tisbury passive seems the obvious choice, I was wondering if their are any other options that I should consider keeping the cost inline with the other components in my system?

    Thanks

    Grab that khozmo that open doors has in classifieds, bargain
    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    Except that Khozmo only has 1 input so not much use for someone who wants 2 or more inputs

    How about a Hypnotize DC B1 Jfet buffer with an MM phono stage using the Elliot Sound Products PCB and Burr Brown OPA2134 jfet audio opamps with 4 inputs. Built in 2019 by disarmamant (Martin)?

    I've got this available if you are interested.

    “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.”
