Used tube preamp $2-3K


Scouting for an above mentioned preamp driving both 2a3 monos, UL/triode monos  and push pull monos. Plus two FW F3, F5 amps. DAC source 75%, CD 25%. Currently using an older Audio Mirror which may be a bottle neck. Current speakers are Coherent GR12 Sigs, Klipsch LS and Jubilee. Remote is a near must, dynamic with speed and detail and transparency. I find a nice CJ 17ls, a Coincident and even a much less expensive Schiit Freya+. The CJ seems highly touted and I like the relay based volume control vs the standard Alps wiper normally found. All insight appreciated, Thanks.

Thank you Gents.

Aric is a builder I have noted and corresponded with in the past. Good idea.

My Audio Mirror uses small Russian signal tubes like a 6n1p or the like. It is not based around the 6922. Model is T61 I believe.

I’d look for a used Linear Tube Audio MZ3 or a Backert Rhumba, and I doubt you’ll find what you’re looking for with CJ.  Best of luck. 

I agree with soix. CJs have a lush sound.Linear Tube Audio would be closer to what you're looking for. Yes,I've owned both:-)
