So damn hard deciding which tube preamp to buy!


So you have $10 to $25k. What do u do??? So many names.  Cant test them cause no one nearby stocks them, and not broken in.  

What does one do??

I owned the LA 100 mk II, fully upgraded NOS tubes etc., and it was very disappointing.
yeah right a  10k pre amp will sound sooooo much better than a  1500 preamp (cayin))  yeah right, 
what a waste of money
The cayin will perform equally as good as any preamp,, for alot lotTTTT less cash

Have you compared the Cayin to every preamp? There is always something better.
