$5000.00 To Spend Looking for Tube Pre-Amp

C'mon Dragon_vibe, you can't really be that slow....can you?

Atmasphere (Ralph) says:

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.

Then you say:

Atmasphere, Which one is that?

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.

Dragon_vibe, I THINK Atmasphere is referring to Joule. LOL!!!

Im glad you find it all funny, I thought all 3 amps were using caps in the signal path. Thats why i asked which one.

What about a ModWright LS36.5 or a Rogue Athena.Either can be bought for under 5K new.And very nice sounding.

Dragon_vibe, you are getting the same recommendations from the same set of characters pushing their pre in all the threads. Everyone is more organic, detail, musical, bass ...

Are you going to start another thread for a pre in the bathroom, garage ...? I think you have enough info in making an intelligent decision for a pre in every room of the house, office ... LOL!!!
