The best preamp for Rouge M-180

Hmmm, I have been very pleased with my Musical Fidelity kW linestage with my Rogue Stereo 90 (and with everything it has been paired with). A hybrid pre with a big meaty power supply and very very low output impedance.

Not balanced though. And I settled on this preamp before I got my Rogue, so I have not had the chance to swap around pres with this specific amp.

It also might help to know what you have not been 100% pleased with, and what pres you have tried.

I have tried Athena, but I taught it was too noisy, micro phonic and not lucid enough. Arc ls25 was too slow and boring. Direct from DCS Debussy, to try! This was some of them.

For a balanced preamp, have u looked at the AR LS-17 or Modwright? Very good reviews on the Modwright LS 36.5 Tube Linestage.
