Tube pre w/ remote and phono: used 5-$600.....


Possible to obtain these functions in this price? If pushed....could live without phono stage...any suggestions? Also...big and heavy and built like a tank a bonus...looking for that classic 3-d sound vs. transparency and detail...thanks...

I don't know this preamp so take it as only something to check out. There is a Quicksilver Preamp with phono on the Gon that I was eyeing myself this morning that meets your requirements. Beats me how it sounds.
Good luck finding all these features for that price. I've grown tired of looking for a tubed preamp for my preferences and price range.
I've decided to have it custom built.This maybe your best bet.If your not a name hound and value quality parts and performance over bragging rights, it maybe the best way to go. This way it can be designed to work with your current gear without worries of mismatch. I just recieved a quote for $600 from a well known designer, so it's not as expensive as one might think when you cut out the middle men.Remote and phono will be a little more. I've learned going straight to the man himself can save you a lot of loot!;-)

Good luck hunting
i would suggest a minty used mac. c26,c27,c28 etc... very neutral,full function, great phono stage....and in 10 years , probably worth more than you paid for it.
