Who Offers a Highly Musical Preamp using a 6SN7 tube and a remote?

@hilde45 

I've owned three 6SN7 based preamps in the last five years.  The Modwright LS-100, the current Don Sachs Model 2 and the current Supratek Chardonnay. Still have the Sachs and the Supratek.  From purely a sound and musical involvement perspective the Supratek is the winner to my ears in my system with both SS and tube amps.  The inclusion of both XLR and SE outputs plus the variable gain make it easy to match with a wide range of amps.  

I got some NOS Sylvania 6SN7 tubes for my Freya and they are wonderful. Outshine all the Russian based tubes I had. I also tried a couple Chinese tubes Shuguang but the Sylvanias are the ticket for me

@isaacc7 @jackd  I am in Denver and have a great tech nearby. If/when I improve my preamp game, I'll consult with him about older models. I know he really likes deHavilland. I am saving this thread into my "end game folder" and now really have a star next to Supratek and Aric. And Don Sachs.

I hope to borrow a deHavilland Ultraverve III to compare with my Quicksilver to see what differences I hear. I realize that the rest of my system and room needs to be revealing enough, so I won't prejudge too much if I don't hear a large difference.
