Preamp to match Parasound JC1 monos

I used a few different preamps with the JC-1s when i had them. I loved the BAT VK-31SE with them. I think a used 51SE would be even better.

I own N802 (drived also by very powerful amp - Spectron) and I highly recommend Joule-Electra (LA-150 or LA-300) truly a magical synergy. I tried a number of preamps and J-E was the best

Ellyjr, I have JC-1 amps and am using a Herron Audio VTSP-3 tube pre and the sound is fantastic. They are an excellent match.

Ellyjr, I ran the JC1's with a Sonic Frontiers Line 2SE+ with some pretty pricey tubes and I would give the nod to the JC2. That is not to say that you might get better results with a different tubed linestage. Either way I would run balanced.

The Einstein "The Tube" Preamp works great with the JC-1's or just about any solid state or tube amp that has XLR inputs.
