This thread for you tubeguys.Nominate your favorite tube Pre Amp of all time. More info for audiogon members the better. Remember some members are just starting their high end experience.
I really like the Encore DL 2010.2, has everything at a very reasonable price, great phono stage. Not very well known, but has done well in Stereophile shows. Worth checking out.
this is kinda silly, really - who has compared even more than a *handful* of all these preamps? and, they will perform differently in in different systems. that said, i will totally ignore it, & cast my wote for the melos music director - simply an amazing unit! ;~) doug
you haven't heard real music until you have heard it through a Thor TA-1000 linestage tube pre-amp. this is the best next thing than the real live performance. I've tried different ones thru the years ,but this one is a keeper
I also nominate the Joule Electra LA100MKIII, but realize without a phono stage it's not everyone's cup of tea. 2nd best w/phono would be ARC SP-9MKIII.
