Top ten tube preamps

Ait- If it sounds as good as it looks, it must be awesome. Very nice work.

Purity Audio will soon end up on this list as people compare it with the ones already mentioned. The design and components used are of the highest calibre.

Atma,

It's a linestage. I already have a phono stage that is good down to .1mV cartridges, so I'm covered there.

Swampwalker,

I think it sounds great, probably because I made it to sound the way I like my music to sound. Next project is a 200+wpc SET to go along with it; I'm accumulating the parts now, with the transformers being the most challenging, but I've got a good line on those now. The LTspice simulations look great, at 218wpc with zero negative feedback.

The main character in the 200W SET saga:

The 833C

BTW, it's also a DHT, just a multi-kilovolt B+ version.

Ait- Ah, the famed 833C. WAVAC fans will be jealous ;-) Do you do the casework yourself? I'm thinking the amp will be quite breathtaking! And I am totally in awe of ee types who understand the technical stuff.
