Seeking to upgrade my current preamplifier. I am looking for a tube preamplifier, specifically a line stage as I do not require a phono stage.
I am looking for new only and my maximum budget is $7500.00. I was looking at the following 2 preamps, the Conrad Johnson ET6-SE, but that preamp did not come with a balance control. The other preamp was the Rogue Audio RP-9 preamp that is fully and comes with a balance control. The seating arrangement in my listening room necessitates a balance control. The only issue with the Rogue is that it uses 6H-30 tubes, which may have availability issues. I hear good things about the RP-9, but I am open to suggestions.
Thank you for listening.
