I am using one in a $50,000 reference system, it is that good. It will allow you to upgrade your amp and CD player in the future.

Very quiet, no frills, just good sound, separate power supply, solidly built, and usually can find good deals on this site in your price range. 18k i've seen around 300-400 and the 24k a little more maybe both on this site. good luck

I purchased a QA-112 to try with an $30K system, not that that means much, and have loved it so much I haven't upgraded to his more spendy models. A true great audio bargain. Hand built, tube triode pre's are magic in my opinion.
