$5000.00 To Spend Looking for Tube Pre-Amp

Well my point is that if you like the Purity house sound, you may well like a Purity Basis model for your bedroom.

No looking for something diffrent. Its like Pro Speakers, I like Danley SH50 over some B&W 800 series but im also looking for more refined types as well. Like the Salks or Conincident Ref. I like diffrent systems in diffrent rooms.

TRL dude. Price is supposed to go up soon, so not sure if it will fit your budgetary constraints....

Dragon_vibe, I take it you want the preamp to support balanced operation?

If looking into speakers, check out http://www.audiokinesis.com These are some very refined and very easy to drive speakers that are also reasonably priced.

Yes Balanced is good but not a must. Since its for a bedroom system. The cable runs wont be long.

Well not heard the Dude. but a Forum member here who compared the Dude to the CLS perffered the CLS more. I trust his ears more. The Dude prob is a very good Pre-amp but i feel its not for me.
