Top ten tube preamps

Shindo in the northeast: In Living Stereo on East 4th Street in Manhattan.

SUPRATEK Cabernet, JADIS JPS2, with a special mention to the supratek for
the ratio performance/price..

A friend just bought a "Chenin" Supratek : very decieved, too much "tube in their bad side".

Maybe the Cabernet is better ?

@Patrickamory : thanx to the info for "Living stereo" Ihave discover new speakers from shindo : have you heard them ?

Also add what kind of sound you like- neutral, warm, etc.

I've owned a ton of high end preamps and amps both tubed and solid state but I never heard such an amazingly "real" sound as when I hooked up my 400xi/sacd combo tp my res 2 speakers using Transparent MM PC's and MIT V2.2 cabling. The soundstage was huge, warm, layered and brimming with dynamics...clear, smooth and full..like vinyl!!
