RE: Best Preamps Of The Last 25 Years.

Since I'm not wealthy or a collector, AND further that I can't rub 2 Nickels together, I'm going with a VERY less expensive pre.
Parasound P5
This really gets the job done and in a modern system, the bass management features are really TOPS.

Downside? Could have used a slightly better DAC section and the bass management is only 12db /octave.

DAC however works fine for TV watching and cable oriented music channels. After all, the sample rate on those is 32k, nothing special and I liken to FM response.

I suspect it'd be at a very high level losing only to a pre costing 2x or 3x or MORE.....IOW? Decent value, which is all I can hope for.
