I know, an endless debate.
But,...a $25 SMD attenuator yields dynamics in spades with a 1.8 Watt amp because of the B&C/JBL High Efficiency speakers in a small room.
If you insist on a pre-amp and want value, get an ARC SP-9 or LS-1, same amplifier stage, remove the bypass caps, upgrade the remaining caps, replace the Alps Blue with a TKD (that's a bit fiddly to do) and replace the now out of spec filament resistors with 12 watt Mills. Best sounding pre I ever had.
