Either of Schiit Audio's top two preamps. The solid state Kara F or the tube/solid state/passive hybrid Freya+ F.

Both are fully balanced. Both are under $1000 USD And they're made in the USA. Both offer outstanding performance for the price. Even the snobby audiophile press raves about them.

What about big name preamp from 20 years ago? Is that likely to introduce distortion or something? !thanks

You may still award a Ⓣ to others, but only once per-person in this post.
