Budget Pre with 2outputs, rectifier tube and.....

Hello guys, I'm looking for a used budget tube pre with a rectifier tube, ht bypass and as stated 2 outputs. I've looked at Dennis Had's AES DJH but doesn't have the ht bypass, budget is about $800, maybe I'm asking for too much at that price. But that's why I come here for solutions. thanks in advance.

I don't know if buying a preamp based tube rectification as a main quality is a good idea. Most, if not all modern tube gear uses solid state to rectify. You may have to go vintage to find something.

Tube rectification done properly is fine.

Hi Barfbag

Check out Response Audio and their Musica Bella line of preamps. They have preamps with tube rectification and HT Bypass. The only issue is that they may be out of your stated budget. You can work with Bill from Response Audio to come up with something that may work for you. I own one of their older preamps and am very happy with it.

Good luck with the search.
