Balanced Tube Preamps I Should Try

Sonic Frontiers Line 3 SE.

The Mcintosh C2200 is not fully balanced, but it is, as Aball stated, an outstanding preamp. I've had it for about a year now and just won't let it go. A recent issue of Hifi+ gave it rave reviews. They honestly did not expect much (Mcintosh, lawyers and dentists...), but were extremely impressed calling it the most fun they've had in a long time.

Yes, it is true, the C2200 isn't fully balanced. You need the C200 for that but it is more than $5000 and not tubed. I guess there aren't many balanced tubed preamps afterall. Arthur

You have limited choices. BAT, Sonic Frontiers, Supratek are the few that come to mind. Personally I wouldn't get a tube preamp that has both balanced inputs and outputs.
Truly balanced preamps are always push-pull configuration. Most people will prefer a SET preamp.

No remote, but the Atma-Sphere MP-3 offers superb performance. It has balanced inputs and output.
