Perreaux Preamps


Hi does anyone have experience with Perreaux preamps? I am thinking of getting a SA-33 model preamp. We have a Threshold S/500 amp and I listen to mostly vinyl. Thanks.

Somut, I was just reading your system page and you mention that you once owned the Superphon pre. For what ever it's worth, and as follow-up to my previous comments, I also owned the Superphon around the same time period, and considered the Superphon more to my liking than the Perreaux (overall). Not as "HI-END" sounding, but not as aggressive in the highs.
FWIW, I owned a SM3 for a year or so and I agree with Frogman. Not my cup of tea either. I traded it in for an ARC SP10. No mistake there. The difference was huge. I had a Perreaux stack and the best component in it was the TU3 tuner which I kept for 20+ years. I also had a Threshold SA-3 which was much smoother than the Perreaux 2150B amp too. It (the 2150B) really was a 'sand' amp. Oh, BTW, my SM3 was mechanically unreliable as well. Back for repairs 3 times.
Thank for your input and guidance gentleman. I have decided to rather go with a Conrad Johnson Motif MC-7.
I wouldn't trust a Conrad Johnson over a Perreaux with a ten foot pole. A Perreaux would blow it away.
