Another what preamp to get thread


Was going to go down the Quad 33 or PAS 3 road but decided for that price I could spend little more and buy something more modern like an ARC LS-1, LS-9, SP-9, Cary SLP308 or save some $$ and get Jolida 5t. I have never heard any of these except for some other Jolida models.

Wanted to connect to my classdaudio SDS-470 amp driving my Maggies 1.6. Although the amp is a touch warm I am seeking something warmer and was originally leaning towards LS-1 but there is hardly anything on the web.

Currently using a Botthelead Quickly as a preamp.

So it has to be tubed, warm and remote would help with my arthritis. Preferably under $700.

thx in advance

Actually, the opposite is true. Best to move those joints to help keep them lubricated. So do what I happily did - get a Mapletree Audio 2A SE Linestage and get to moving about!

If you are looking for a warm tube preamp you should steer clear of ARC. Look at Conrad Johnson or Cary.
