I'm looking for a good tube preamp under I k.


Used or new it is not very important to me.Also is there anyone out there who has any information on the sonic performance of Antique sound lab preamp AQ2001. It is under 1k with tube reguated power supply and point to point wiring.Thanks in advance.

Hello, I would pick up a used Rogue Magnum 66 pre amp. They are quite rare on Audiogon. If not used you could probably get the regular version for pretty close to 1K from a dealer.
I second the motion on the Blue Circle BC21. For the money (especially used) it is a darned miracle!
I'll third the BC21. The Blue Circle has point to point wiring as well. I will add as an alternate the Conrad Johnson PV-10.
Make that four for the BC21. I just purchased one to audition against a Placette passive, which I like very, very much, and it is going to be a hard decision on which one to keep. Really a nice unit for the $.
Try a Antique Sound Labs 2004 DT . This amazing little preamp retails for $299 new and uses 3 tubes,put the extra money in the bank. It only has inputs for 3 components . Just the ticket to warm up those Solid State amps.No I am not a dealer just a very happy consumer.
