$5000.00 To Spend Looking for Tube Pre-Amp

FWIW if you can get rid of the caps at the output of any preamp it will sound better. 'Better'= more bass extension, more transparent, less coloration.

So far the only preamp mentioned that has no coupling cap (or transformer) at its output is one of the preamps in the original post.

Atmasphere, Which one is that?

Then you say:

You have to admit that was funny, unless you were seriously asking the question, in which case it's just sad.

Look at the list of preamps in your original post:

CLS Line Stage
Used Audio Research
Used Atma Sphere

Now, if you think REAL hard, you may be able to figure out which preamp that Ralph Karsten, founder and CEO of Atma-Sphere Music Systems (Atmasphere) was reffering to.

And.......GO.......clock's ticking.......oh nevermind, I'll just tell you.
It was the Atma-Sphere silly.

Dragon_vibe, meet Atmasphere, aka Ralph Karsten.
