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

@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.

I'd be happy to quote you on a custom build.

I've owned the following 6SN7 preamps:

• George Wright WLA12A
• Modwright LS-100
• Don Sachs Model 2
• LTA MZ2
• Atma-Sphere MP-3

The keeper is the MP-3, mainly because the synergy with my Atma-Sphere M-60 mono blocks can't be ignored. I bought mine used and liked it so much I sent it back to Ralph for the remote upgrade.

Surprisingly, the MZ2 is a very close second and I'm keeping it as my spare. Clean, fast, and the inner detail is fantastic.

The Wright, the Modwright, and the Don Sachs are all very, very good, and mostly just different flavors. You won't be disappointed with any of them.

I fully admit to being a 6SN7 fanboy.
