Im looking for a very tubie sounding pre. An open design would be nice and remote. Price-$500-$800 used. I know its a tall order but please offer some leads.I could do without the open design and remote if need be.
I have a CJ PV-8 in black with all caps replaced with Auricaps. It sounds pretty tubie especially with the Telefunkens. Wicked phono section too. Oh yea, its for sale.
Dekay-Yes,I still have the Audcom. I found some RCA tubes for it, but it's by far my weakest link. The audcom sounds like SS IMO. I have the 'itch' to move up also :~) I've got some good leads here.Thanks 'philes!
I guess that everyone is raving about their own tube pre, so let me join the group. Audible Illusions Mod 3 is a great piece of equipment. A very simple layout inside using four 6922's and comes with a stock MM phono stage. If you need a MC stage, thats SS. Used about $1200, but well worth it. Remote ? absolutely not, but how many exceptional pre-amps come with remotes, and how much extra are they.
