Hi all-

My current system has Kef 104/2 powered by a Classe Seventy Amp, Classe 20 Preamp and Meridian 506 CD player. Unfortunately my Preamp just died. I'm told they can fix it and will likely cost less than $500. My questions:
Should I get it fixed?
Should I buy something else?
If so, what?

I really like having remote control, and appreciate the sound and simplicity of my current system. Are there other good used preamp options you might recommend for similar dollars?

I'd love to get another Classe or Meridian piece but am open to educated suggestions.

Thank you!
Fletch
