Well the end of my college career approaches, and with it the end of
the use of my roomate's Apt Holman pre-amp.
  
What pre-amps are there out there for under $5-600 that will do the job.
I like the Apt very much, but find the discrete volume control (individual
resistors) a little restricting (especially when listening over headphones).
I own a dbx 3BX, a cassette deck and an open reel, so switching facilities
are a must. Also, I plan on purchasing a Talisman moving coil (since my other
roomate insists on taking his Denon...) and will need a step-up transformer.
Is it wise to look for a pre-amp with a moving coil section, or should I
by separates?
