Macho Kiljoy Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 All, I would like your advise on a preamp for the Assemblage ST-300B SET amp I am waiting to be delivered. Would the Rotel RC-1070, or anything else in the 10** series, be a good match? Any other suggestions? My budget is $500-700, unless a Juicy Music Blueberry becomes available, then it will go up. Tube or SS, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho Kiljoy Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 I will be running Cornwalls and would prefer a phono pre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilC Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Plenty of linestages in your price range but with phono a little more difficult but I did come across this. Should work well with the 300B amp http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=134602.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HPower Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 The Blueberry would be a good choice for a one box solution with it's nice phono section. I am running a Transcendent Sound Grounded Grid Preamp with my Welborne DRD45s and I think that is a pretty nice match, especially considering the cost. With that said, I just bought a Modwright SWL 9.0 SE line tube preamp that I will be taking delivery of next week. I had a 9.0 SE about 7-8 years ago and I remember it as being a fantastic pre, hence me wanting to try one again. Of course, with either of these units, a separate phono pre would be needed to spin those old fashion vinyl things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
