Sleeper preamp suggestions


Hello, I'm looking for suggestions for a outstanding preamp,under $1500 new or used.
I now have an Accuphase c-200 which is wonderful. I would like to get a unit that's a little newer though. I would especially like to get input from Audiogoners who are familiar with the C-200,so they'll know where I'm coming from.

It would be mated to a Accuphase C-350.

But I welcome all comments and suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

The EE preamp is indeed good and highly recomended.Fun to tube roll too.
With that said, I bought an Accuphase C-200 that had been recaped, and it is better than the untouched C-200 I also own.Way more lively.

So, they are both wonderful,for 400 to 600 bucks you can save a lot of time and hassle by getting one of these great amps.
I like to cut through the B.S and find the good stuff,so you can't go wrong with these two.
They will get you off the merry go round for sure!
Happy listening.

Mcgarick, thanks for your update. Sounds like you made the right decision. Have you had a chance to compare the Minimax to anything other than the Accuphase C-200?
