Does this preamp exist?

Thanks for the all the responses so far.

The Kora looks very nice, but I don't think I could get it for 1,500.

The AI 3A was high on my list, but it lacks headphone output or two tape loops. Same problem with the BAT.

So that leaves the Rogue 99 w/ phono. Can anyone comment on the performance of the 99's phonostage? LP is my primary source.

Asonicyouth's suggestion of linestage + phonostage has been something I've considered and his specific combo is one that I've already looked into. I'm just trying to cut down on the number of boxes. Though if the choice comes down to excellent vinyl playback v. clutter, I think playback would win.

Thanks again, and let me know if there's another candidate I should consider.

Be warned; the AI Mod 3a runs its triode tubes "hot" and is picky about tubes used. I blew a pair of NOS tubes overnight; nothing wrong with them. Most owners say only get your tubes from AI and Upscale audio. This is a known issue; so, your use of quality NOS tubes is severely restrained.

If your lucky you might come accross a Tandberg 3018A. Great unit. Excellent phono stage and with rosewood panels very nice. Mike

TAD-150 check it out at 2baudio.com. New it's $1299.00 for the regular version $1537.00 for the signature version. Has exactly what you are looking for and accepts 12AU7,AX7, or AT7 tubes so you can tailor the sound to your ears. All that and remote control too.

I would urge you to consult a qualified technician familiar with Tandberg products. I just had a pretty bad experience with a Tandberg 3008A. One tech said he will no longer take them in for service due to extremely costly replacement parts from Tandberg; many of the parts of proprietary Tandberg and NOT cheap. Labour costs can be quite high as they were not built with ease of service in mind.
