Call Brandon,
He makes an amazing 300B preamp.

Used tube preamp $2-3K
Scouting for an above mentioned preamp driving both 2a3 monos, UL/triode monos and push pull monos. Plus two FW F3, F5 amps. DAC source 75%, CD 25%. Currently using an older Audio Mirror which may be a bottle neck. Current speakers are Coherent GR12 Sigs, Klipsch LS and Jubilee. Remote is a near must, dynamic with speed and detail and transparency. I find a nice CJ 17ls, a Coincident and even a much less expensive Schiit Freya+. The CJ seems highly touted and I like the relay based volume control vs the standard Alps wiper normally found. All insight appreciated, Thanks.

My experience is that the type of tube in the preamp plays a huge role in how it actually sounds. My personal preference is a 6SN7. These are what Don Sachs uses in his design. I had a model 3 for a period of time and it was truly a sublime sounding amp. I ended up switching to a ModWright LS100 for a balance adjustment knob and am equally if not more happy with that based on the build quality over all. I think based k. What you're looking for, a 6sn7 based pre will do you well |
rmdmoore, don sachs builds VTA ph-16 and SP-14 kits from tubeseforhifi. the tube type is already picked out for him. |
