So damn hard deciding which tube preamp to buy!

Most of us have 10-20K to blow.
   Shop smart, buy used gear, 

   10-25K just laying around.  Need a room mate?

   Do you absolutely NEED tubes?
check out SMCaudio VR preamps, 

 conrad johnson

 save some cash and check out AVA or Vincent makes very nice gear. 
 Enjoy the hunt,.....

So how best do you match a preamp to an amp?  You hear u should match, but exactly how do u do this?

I think you should have your mommy make the cal since she is footing the bill

 Mommy gone away.  I need to make decision myself. Am a big boy.

And so it (t)rolls on.
