craig Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hi i'm using dynaco A25s and a rotel bx980 amp , my pre amp is just a harmon kardon 730 receiver that im using as a pre amp, It sounds nice but i also curious to hear what it might be like to upgrade the most likely weakest point of my system. I thought nothing would ever replace it but now that i have both stock pair and rehabbed pair of dynaco's i'm curious to hear them on better pre amp. Not looking to spend more then $250 bucks. Any suggestions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlausDK Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Rotel RC-995 Pre Amplifier would be an obvious choice, given the amp you use. It is a very good pre-amp, and should be obtainable in the US in your price range.BRgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thechatterboxman Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Parasound PHP-850's are almost impossible to beat in this price range, especially if you want a phono stage and defeatable tone controls. I copied some of their features from the Parasound website.100% pure Class A• J-FET input stage• Best Analog Devices parts• CMOS solid-state switching• Buffered outputs• IEC removable AC cord• Function LEDs• Gold-plated jacks• FR 4 glass circuit boards• 19,000 mF filter bank• Film bypass caps• Gold series capacitors• Precision volume control• Headphone output• Direct coupled output• Defeatable tone controls• Turn on/off mute circuit• Accurate RlAA for phono• Silver clad copper wiring• Low distortion design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynaco_dan Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hi thereIf you want older pre-amps try, Crown IC 150, Dynaco Pat 5 Bi-fet, Dynaco Pat-5 or Dynaco Pat-4.Dyna pre-amps are available on ebuy for an attractive price at least.The Pat-4 is likely the least priced with the most value.
