Budget? What sound characteristics are you looking to gain and/or not lose with the tube pre?
Tube preamp for my Bryston 7B3
Hi Goners...
I'm currently running Bryston 7B3 Amps from a Bryston BP26 Preamp to Focal Sopra 2's. VERY HAPPY with things but thinking of adding (not replacing my BP26) a tube preamp just for that occasional sound change we get. Has anyone experimented with different tube preamps for their Bryston 7B3? I realize the Bryston has a low 7.5K ohm input and may be tough to find a good tube match.
tnx...2bz

Might look at Rogue RP series. Good value stuff. I have had the RP-1 for several years and really have enjoyed it. Put in matched Mullards from Andy at Vintage Tube Services. Match that with class A/B solid state amp and Focal 926.There is an RP-5 over on USAudiomart. RP-9 on herehttps://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisabe08-rogue-audio-rp-9-stereo-tube-preamplifier-rp9-black-34670... I had a listen at Octave at RMAF a couple years ago and their stuff is way impressive. https://www.octave.de/en/htdocs/verstaerker/hp300se.php Octave also has this baby for even bigger $$ but very cool. https://www.octave.de/en/htdocs/verstaerker/hp700se.php |
