Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which?


On the tube front... AR Ref3 vs. CJ ART3 vs. VL TL-7.5 vs. Wavac PR-T1?

Or on the SS front... Burmester 808Mk5 vs Dartzeel NHB-18NS vs Krell Evolution2 vs MBL 6010D vs Halcro DM10?

My preference would be a neutral tube based model.

Any opinions?

Bvdiman,

I'll sure take you up on that offer the next time I come out to that part of the world. In the meantime, I hope you continue to enjoy your music as much as you should.
I would have a look to Jadis JP 80 which I prefered over the ARC ref3

also to the Viola which has the most incredible precision in staging the musicians on differents layers ... just amazing!

and maybe to Jeff Rowland brand new Criterion
BAT REX ... but it looks like Andrew started and then abandoned this thread in January, 2007, leaving everyone to respond to the black hole!

Unfortunately, that is more the norm than an aberration.
