So a friend has lent me an Azur 840e preamp and I'm blown away. Really opened up the sound, increased dynamics, fluid, fast, natural, accurate, 3d etc.
Source is digital (mainly redbook FLAC) to a NOS DAC and power amp is newly built Radford Revival STA25s driving PMC LB1 Signatures.
The band is playing in front of me in my sitting room!
I need to return the Azur 840e at some point and don't fancy going back to the passive preamp I was using (nice that it is).
So what to get?
Only need 2 or 3 line level inputs (I already have a dedicated phono stage), ideally with remote control for volume. As good as or better than the Azur 840e.
Budget - variable - lets say up to £1k. New or preloved.
cheers
