Hello everyone,
I am a new member on this forum and I have a question about pre-amps.
My current pre-amp is close to broken down and is too old to consider repair.
My budget for a new pre-amp is somewhere between 300 an 600 euro (about the same amount in dollars).
I will use it mainly as dedicated pre-amp, but I will also want to be able to listen with headphones.
When I look at the possibilities in this price range I see a lot of headphone-amps with the added advantage of a pre-amp.
On my list are Topping A90, Schitt Jotunheim, Gustard H16 and SMSL HO200.
When I look at the reviews however they are primarily judged on their ability as headphone-amp which for me is of secondary importance.
Is there anyone who can tell me something about the pre-amp performance of the mentioned amps?
Much obliged
