Stereo preamplifiers. Perhaps as influential on your system as the power amplifier. It makes for a great debate...

Anthem makes a terrific preamp and tuner combination called the TLP-1. It offers a terrific combination of performance and convenience with the tuner because now you have control over your station presets with a very simple but easy to use, remote control. Nice. All for a modest price. Don't overlook Anthems superb 5 year warranty.

Arcam has a full line of stereo preamplifiers. Certainly more expensive than the Anthem TLP-1 or Rotel RCP-1070, Arcam offers the next step up before Bryston. They also offer a sensational line of integrated amplifiers.

Bryston offers superlative performance with their BP-20 and BP-25 preamplifiers focusing on simplicity of circuit design and external power supplies. Simple design, hand made construction and superb materials. It all equals a preamplifier that you'll enjoy trouble-free for 2 decades.

Rotel offers very affordable separates. Their preamplifiers offer remote control, discrete components and toroidal power supplies. Rotel has always delivered outstanding performance for a modest price. Rotel also offers a five year warranty.

The best preamplifier on the market today, is without question, the Mark Levinson. Their first preamplifier they released turned the audio industry on their ear and they have led the way ever since. They are the reference, and we have them in our listening room, just waiting for someone like you to play a little Sibelius or Springsteen. Name your game, Levinson makes music.
