First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k)

I'm gonna throw in on the EVO400 as well.  Been running mine now for about a year.  What a fantastic piece of gear.  (I have it paired with an MC-312).

I "tried" to buy a 2600 from a dealer in the area (gently used) and when I told him my setup... he suggested: "Go do some homework on Prima... and ignore the loud guy on the videos".  <giggle>

Found that Sandy Gross himself had used one with a Mac amp to do some demos of some gear at an Axpona.  Mind you i'm not a six-figure spender for gear... but all my stuff sits right about $4000 a piece... a perfect fit.

@ghdprentice thank you, will consider that once I get the unit in

Hey Dmcneilr,

 

Is the Audio gd vacuum He-1 as holographic as they say in the reviews?

Given your price point I'll echo the Cary SLP-98

@kw6.........I have the Audio-gd 10 tube Vacuum HE and it IS Holographic...for 4K ...nothing I’ve experienced can touch it. It’s a monster though..Buy One.  Matches nicely w/ Peachtree GAN 400 amp.
