sunfire classic vacuum tube preamp

  I have been looking for a tube preamp for some time now.  I would like a pre that has balanced outputs and I am looking for a warmer sound.  I noticed that there are a couple sunfire classic preamps for sale on audiogon and it looks like this could be a good choice for me.  Can anyone with experience in this preamp let me know what the sound is like and if this is a good preamp,  thanks

Stringreen,
The shop you're referring to carveraudiorepair.com isn't owned by Carver and has nothing to do with any of the affiliation. They sound more like scammers.

That shop you mentioned is owned or operated by a guy named Roland. They are the service center Bob Carver recommends for original Carver Corp. equipment.

I’m not sure why you’d say they are scammers. They have a good reputation for repair and modding the 1.5’s..

  I ended up buying a musica bella lusso dual mono preamp that uses 6922 tubes from Bill at response audio.  Can't wait to hear it and I will let you guys know how it sounds when I get it if you are interested, thanks Bill
