Who Offers a Highly Musical Preamp using a 6SN7 tube and a remote?

Another recommendation for Aric Audio. I'm running a Super6SN7 upgraded to near Motherload II status. Without a doubt one of the best audio purchases I've made in a while. Aric is pleasure to deal with and will work with your budget.

Good luck

Thanks for this list. Even while I'm settling in with my newly modded Quicksilver gear and doing a speaker shoot-out, I've not started a folder on my computer called "End Game" and 6SN7 Preamps this thread is a keeper.

When I was shopping initially, a bunch of these names were on my short list, but my budget was lower for a preamp. I ruled out Supratek because they're made in Australia and that's a long way to go for both purchases and service, which I assume would have to be done locally (maybe?).

I noticed Herron is not on the list but then I realized he doesn't built around this particular tube.

Noticed Blue Circle is not on the list. Are they still making preamps? 

@hilde45 Blue Circle is out of business as are Dehavilland. Also Herron is closing up shop though as you say does not make 6SN7 preamps.

@jond  Thanks. Good to know. Some stuff still circulates used so perhaps not totally irrelevant but probably better options.

Great recommendations, I think, above. One of the nice things about so many of them is their high quality, robustness and reliability. I would not hesitate to pick up any one of them on the used market, if that was what I could afford, though I am not really familiar with Blue Circle.

My Supratek Cortese LCR is the first piece of equipment I have bought in a long time for which I paid full retail. And I've never had even a particle of buyers remorse. It's always simply been a tremendous source of satisfaction. Sounds great with solid state and also tube power amps.
