Preamp Deal of the Century

Don't get the enthusiasm over this thread. Speakers are the most important factor in the electronics chain. Yet people seem to love their preamp's the most...then amp's it seems....then speakers.
Hummmm...maybe I should go buy 5 or 7 preamps and place em all around the room for a killer multi channel music system. Cool

Roy,

Agree totally! Have you tried 5V4G yet? Different flavor IMHO. Also, have you tried rolling the regulator tubes (I tried Tungsol 5881, GEC KT-66 Clear and smoked bottle, metal Kenrad 6F6G with good results).

Exertfluffer,

Does anybody here posted that preamp is the most important factor on the chain? Who? Where? If so, It's his/her choice isn't it?

If you do not get the "enthusiasm" on this thread per se, why bother participating in the first place?

What's the matter, did someone offended you here?

I cannot understand why you have to comment like that on something that people enjoy.

Go ahead and buy those additional preamps (7 isn't it?). At least it is your decision and if it makes you happy, then good for you and nothing else matters!

I agree with you. I am even more enthusiastic about my Soundlab speakers.

Hello,

Thanks for the recommendations,

A friend emailed me a couple of days ago and recommended a Mullard GZ34 as a rectifier.
I have one on its way to me now.

I will certainly look out for the tubes you have recommended.

Amadarae?...SHHHHHUT UUUUUUUP!!!!!! (lol)
Actually, I don't get your over commenting on my simple response of "don't understand the enthusiasm"(like, what, 1200 plus responses!?!)! Actually, if anything, I thought my response would help wake up audioenthusiest to the idea that more of the secret to great sound lies in the speakers, not the preamp...which is the truth, for certain.
And yes, the preamp is VERY IMPORTANT...just not near so as the speakers, 'case anyone is wondering.
Basically I'm just amazed at, yes, how many people are crazy about their preamp's, and how few are really struck with THEIR SPEAKERS!!!!
I mean, there's nothing wrong with commenting on anything. But it seems if you put a thread entitled "speaker deal of the century", you'd get like maybe a hundred or two responses!!!! Doesn't that stike anyone as weird?
Again, this strikes me as strange because SEASONED AUDIPHILE EXPERTS have been writing for years that the SPEAKERS are the most important part of the electronics chain. Yet people like their other gear most! (which reinforces why so many people start threads like..."I got the Denon 3805 finally, NOW WHAT SPEAKERS DO i CHOSE???!!!!)
It's just no wonder to me that people's systems sound the way they do so often!!!
Once I was at a local hifi club/get-together, and the guy running the deal was a small custom audio video dealer. He had his big setup in the main room running this very very good quality electronics on some Focal speakers that were sipmly "mediocre" at best. Everyone kept commenting that his speakers where really holding his system back. Same holds true for most posting here, I garantee it!
No big deal, just another perspective on this obiously exhausted thread.
But it's all good...don't get me wrong.
Still, I bet you my response is a bagillion times more informative and thought provoking than yours!!!!! Thanks for your thoughts dude.
