Best tube pre under 1500?

Bradz for 850 used you can get a Rogue 66 Stereophile Class B.Not bad.At worst case if you dont like it you can get all the money out of it and not take a hit as you will on a AES item.

My point exactly Leafs...try the 66 and if it works, great! If not, turn around and save for a 99 or similar caliber tube pre. I haven't heard either of these units but I'll have a chance to this weekend. Couldn't remember from prior posts if you own the 99,66,or other?

I have a tweaked 66.Mark did an upgrade on it changing the wire to all silver and putting Vishay's in and a few other thing i cant remember.I have Mullard NOS 12AU7 in it.I have the stock 6DJ8 in the Phono stage

Hi Leafs, How would you describe the sound since the upgrade to the Magnum status? Thanks

I dont know if its a true Magnum Upgrade.Mark did it before he started to offer the Magnum.The big difference i found was a lower noise floor and better soundstage more detail.
