Evening everyone. I am needing your opinions on the best preamp for the money. Offered to me near the $300 range is the following: Croft Vitale, Meixing MC-3R, or this pre on the Agon site here: http://app.audiogon.com/listings/tu...-8cg7-tubes-2013-03-02-preamplifiers-40475--2
I've asked a couple members already but I am just wanting a few more opinions before I pull the trigger. This will be paired up with some Dynaco MK III monoblocks. Thanks for your time!

I have an MC-7R with some upgraded caps and I love it. I think the MingDa gear is some of the best Chinese gear dollar-for-dollar out there right now.

Sorry I can't speak specifically to the 3R. But I'm sure it's a nice, well made preamp.

So, I've got 1x for the Chinese, 1x for the Croft, and 1x for the one on Agon. Anyone else want to help weigh in on the matter?
 
Should have bought the croft. I would have, had i seen it sooner, but then again , im pre amp heavy.

Im such a junkie...
You should have bought budnick123's McIntosh c28. There were tons of good options.

I was set on buying the Croft except he could only take M.O. and I have been stung before doing those, not to say I think he's dishonest, I just didn't and dont feel comfortable sending M.O. I much prefer PayPal, even if I have to pay the fee. But it ended up working in the end because for a little bit more money, I am getting one custom built to my needs and to match my existing equipment.

What preamp are you getting custom built?
