This thread for you tubeguys.Nominate your favorite tube Pre Amp of all time. More info for audiogon members the better. Remember some members are just starting their high end experience.
I prefer ss, but I'll throw another vote for the Sonic Frontiers Line 3. Very neutral, still preserves the harmonic detail of tubes, yet without the usual exaggeration. Plays well with many different components, a truly impressive line stage.
20 years later and 5 + years into owning an upgraded PV9a I just gotta say this pre has a most amazing phono stage. I have personally not heard any I prefer over this one. I would cavaet that within reasonable price constraints but maybe not? It is special.
