Tubeyist sounding Pre-amp?


What pre-amp has the most tubey sound?

I don't even car if it HAS tubes - I just want that sound - it can use MOSFETs for all I care.

Thx

Obtain the tubed pre of your choice, then load it with either Mullards or Brimars(British valves/NOS, NOT repops). British tubes are generally quite euphonic(warm/caramel flavoring). There are a plethora of excellent 6922/6DJ8/E88CC types out there that should even enable you to adjust your Sonic Frontiers pre to your tastes.
You’ve got an amp with warm and liquid sonics that mates well with tube preamps. Have you tried rolling in NOS tubes in the SF? Mullards are the way to go, but are expensive.

A preamp with 6SN7 tubes will present a classic tube sound, with NOS of course.

CJ preamp jump on one now!!!!!!

Agree the older CJ preamps were beautiful sounding like honey or maple syrup!   Also try the old Counterpoint preamps!
in the Cary line the spl94 was better imo then the 98 the 94 had tube rectification the 98 had moved on to SS. I had a 94 slightly moded one  with AudionNote caps and it was very musical and warm. I liked it better then the 98 but hard to find one now.
