DODD Audio Buffer Kit. Kills everything and can be built by one self for right at about $1000.00 You will have to 5 to 10K to get better.

There are two versions of this preamp (at least). You should be able to pickup the version with the remote for under a grand and the version without the remote for under 500.00. '

I think it is a terrific preamp regardless of the price and at that pricepoint amazing.

TAD 150 Signature. I sold my Melos SHA Gold when I got this as the line stage was noticeably better. No longer made by Bizzy Bee audio. I think there were about 400 units sold. Weak point is the remote control. I purchased a much nicer one and transferred the codes. Put the original remote in the drawer.
