    Pre Amp for B&W N801's

    I need a recommendation for an SS preamp. I have a pair of B&W N801’s and a pair of Bryston 7B-ST amps on the way. My source is an AH! Njoe Tjob (Upsampled with Amperex PQ White label Tubes), a Benchmark DAC1, or a Rotel tuner.

    I am currently using a Juicy Music Peach tube preamp that is just outstanding. I really love this preamp but would like a phono stage and a remote control.

    Can anyone recommend a good two channel preamp? Does anyone have any experience with Musical Fidelity and Bryston units? What else should I be looking at? I have not really thought about price range yet.

    Thanks,

    Chris

      Chris, if you really love your current preamp, why not just add a phono-stage and run it into an existing input on the pre? Admittedly that leaves you without a remote, but the large selection of very good phono-stages gives you lots of options sonically.

              Actually, Creek Audio builds a passive remote volume/mute add on that is fairly reasonably priced.
              Check it out here http://www.creekaudio.co.uk/noflash_...?prolook=obh22 .

                  Hi,

                  A Classe CP-700 could be a nice match....

                      Pre Amp for N801's
                      by DM3000 Owner
                      I need a recommendation for a 2 channel SS preamp. I am driving a pair of N801's powered by a pair of Bryston 7B ST's. I currently have a tube preamp with vintage 1959 and 1963 Amperex PQ Pinched Waist and PQ White label tubes. I love this preamp but would like something with a remote and phono stage....

                      RC1070 - No volume with remote
                      by gymguymass
                      Had a weird thing happen last night with my RC1070 preamp. Last night, and for the 2nd time, my remote not able to control the volume of my preamp. All other functions my remote handles on the preamp, including mute, were working. Since it happened before, about 9 months ago, I figured I just needed...
