Pre Amp for $400 ??

Can I buy a good sounding pre-amp for $400? I have Maggies driven by a Sunfire amp.

Might not be that hard to fix. No $400 preamp is going to come close to what you're used to. I preferred my former ModWright SWL 9.0 SE over the SF Line 1 and if you wait around you can find one for around $900.
