Hi all, I'm after some advice/recommendations for the best pre-amp available for up to £500 (including s/h). I'm after a warm, full sound that is detailed, punchy but not too toppy. I've got Isobariks and LK2 & LK280+spark power amps together with an LK1 at the moment. The sound is cold to say the least and very 'hollow'. There doesn't seem to be much bass at all really, which is definitely not how Isobariks should sound :mad:. I've tried my bro's integrated valve amp and it sounded great! I like to use the speakers for listening to movies as well, so there should be an input for blu-ray audio as well (but no need for surround sound). The blu-ray player allows me to stream music also and will be used as the CD player. Thanks!
