Top ten tube preamps

That Lamm LL2 Deluxe was a real sleeper, and I never knew why, maybe too "cheap" for folks to believe it could be as good as it is - I wish I had not sold that one. "Low prices" might be a "problem" for linestages like the Lightspeed Attenuator from Australia which will give any of the tube linestages mentioned in this thread a run for their money in the right system, and at $450, I mean that literally.

BAT Rex currently occupies the coveted position in my system...I'd like to audition Atma-Sphere, VAC, and Win Analog :-)

Best regards,

Has anyone tried the Tron preamps? i.e. Seven Reference; Syren??

I replaced my Ref3 with the Lamm LL1 Signature dual mono preamp. Nothing more needs to be done.IMO this is the last word in preamps

I felt that way when I got my NAD 3020 - if only there were a last word in gear. I guess when it sounds just like live music, but I don't see that happening any time soon.
