Looking for some advice on a pre-amp to finish a conversion to separates for my 2.1 setup.
I only listen to vinyl and stream via Tidal Connect.
Current setup: Cambridge Audio Evo 150 integrated + Manley Chinook Phono preamp + SVS Micro 3000
New setup (so far): Auralic Altair G1.1 + NAD M22 V2 + Manley Chinook preamp + SVS Micro 3000
I need to solve for volume control on my Manley since the G1.1 doesn't have an analog input. I just assumed it would be easy to find a preamp as the last piece but I clearly have been mistaken.
While the only actual functionality I need is volume control for the Manley, I would like to find a preamp that:
-is under $3-4k
-has a subwoofer out
-has a depth of 14 inches or less
-has balanced outputs for my power amp
-has 2 sets of analog inputs for my Auralic and Manley.
Suggestions?
