My system is a newly built Pentode/Triode Bob Latino ST-70 amp, with Klipsch Cornwalls, my back-up is a Dynaco 416 and Pat5-bi-fet both of which have given me over 25 years of service but I am upgrading now. I looked into the Peach preamp and personally just can't get by the looks, there is a Conrad Johnson and especially an Audio Research LS7 both very reasonable. Hmmm.
Used Tube Preamp Suggestions
Looking for suggestions on a used ( because the budget is under 1K, and preferably in the 600-800 range ) tube preamp to match with my new tube amp. I don't use a phono stage, just a line, so a strong phono stage would only be good for possible re-sale. I'm a little concerned about buying something "vintage" and not getting the time in down the road. I'm leaning towards an Audio Research SP9 mkII or a Rogue Perseus which I read a review it was noisy. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Rich

That's quite a list of great suggestions. You can't go wrong with any of them. I'll throw in my recommendation for an AE-3 DJH. This is the previous version of the MkII. They come up in the classifieds frequently for $750-800. |
