Good medium priced tube preamps are usually trouble free as the tubes last a long time.
Which pre should I choose?
There are two Pre in our 2nd hand market. One is Accuphase C-290 (selling at: US$3300) which start to produce in 1993. The other is Accuphase C-275V (selling at: US$2600) which start to produce in 2000. My power is Accuphase CA-47 to drive Dynaudio Countour 1.3SE. I like warm & thick & not to fast sound. Do you have good ideas? I prefer to listen to classical music mostly.

Dear Sirs, Thank you very much for your response. A good tube amplifier esp. the vintage need a specilist to exam but I am not an electronic expert. And the new one are quite expensive. Also, it is important to match the pre-and the power amplifier together to push the speaker. There is very few dealer can provide such kind of service...... In addition, as a vintage gear, some are difficult to repair or finding the parts. ...... Many of the audio brands have been gone.......... |
faust168Schiit Freya at $699 with trail period, it has 3 different modes, tube, solid state, and passive. Can't go wrong with this choice, specially seeing it's designed by Mike Moffat who was head designer at Theta. http://schiit.com/products/freya Cheers George |
