Preamp upgrade from AMR DP 777

[reignofchaos]

Have a considered a Rogue preamp itself ? It should suit the Rogue 100.
Or a Lamm pre if you can get one.

Definitely considering rogue RP7 or RP9 if the above doesn't work.

Lamm - never heard that so not sure!

Ended up buying the Modwright LS100. It is a superb preamp - very neutral, added a slight bit of heft to the bottom end and a bit of air to the top. No change to tonality whatsoever. Bass has improved quite a bit. Now when I go back to DAC direct, I feel the heft is missing.

On the negative side - it is pure Class A and has no feedback. So any noise in 6SN7 tubes that it uses gets thrown on your face. I tried a bunch of nos sylvanias loaned to me and they all sounded noisy.

Quick update - the AMR DAC itself is going out of my system soon. That was quick!

Congrats! So you've replaced the AMR with the Modwright LS100?
I need to pay more attention to Modwright gear - always read about them.

I still have the AMR. But might sell it in future. I recently got two components - one was the Modwright LS100 preamp and also the T+A DAC 200
