For around 3k, you can find Zana Deux (used), CFA3 (used), Dynahi balanced (used), GSX2 (only if you have a musical dac).I actually dont really need the form factor. That's why I am seriously considering to pair the Prelude with the Wandla.
What would be your recommendation, regardless of size, in the price bracket of Prelude/Hypsos+OOR?
Others have had good luck with DNA amps (no personal experience), other EC amps and EAR (but only with very transparent dac and willing to trade technical for lush sound). I actually think (also no personal experience) Mjolnir 3 might not be a bad candidate for a relatively cheap price - you can try and return if it doesn’t work for you.
