Very good match for the PA 7 would be a Nakamichi CA 5 or CA 7.
Used CA 5s can be bought for relatively little money.

You have to help us help you....

1) what is your budget?
2) Do you need/want tone controls ?
3) Do you need a phono input ? moving coil too?
4) is a remote important?
5) is having XLR outs important?
6) do you care about new versus used ?

Give us something to work with....

7) What speakers do you plan to use?
8) Do you want a simple preamplifier only or a pre with a tuner?
9) Are aesthetics important? If so, black or silver, match the amp, display or no display?

Not harassment, just trying to get to know you.

Hello . I have a technics su-a4 preamp that I love the way my speaker sound. but I have a problem. on the back of the preamp inputs It reads normal/dc- on the front of the preamp it has a little push button for normal or dc.keep in mind it has a loaudness control button. but when I push in the dc control button in the bass is much deeper the treble is crisp It runs or push the current even harder. Lets say I am runnuig about 80 watt rms with the dc button push in I can see the little red l.e.d. light starting to flash on and off.on the amp. ( I need more power) Is this normal or I am over reacting
