I'm going to buy a tube preamp under $2500. I'm considering the Blue Circle BC21, the Audible Illusions M3A or the Rogue Audio 99. Has anyone made this comparison? Which did you like the best and why?
Hi, Augie, you should definitely give Transcendend Sound's Grounded Grid a try! I was looking for a pre-amp in 2K to 3K range, and end up with GG. They even offer two week money back trial. It's a very natural and musical pre-amp.
The Rogue 99 power supply and others things were totally revamped in 04 buy the Super Magnum it is Outstanding against any $4k preamp there also is a SE not advertised if you have the money beyond the Super Magnum. Mark Obrien can transform this to a reference grade unit. The 6sn7 tube what you may call a little colored I call body and dimentiality. I had preamps with 6h30 tubes very accurate but not as alive or 3 d sounding IMO.
