| Preamp Rectifier Tube Confusion I reached out to Upscale and their response was: “I cannot give you an endorsement or recommend it, but it does say it is an equivalent”.Im curious to see the performance stats of the WE274B compared to 5AR4. | |
| Preamp Rectifier Tube Confusion @roberjerman Thanks for that. | |
| Preamp Rectifier Tube Confusion @mofimadness Hey thanks for the link! Thats a great reference 👍 | |
| Preamp Rectifier Tube Confusion @jetter The 5AR4 is the PL stock rectifier. | |
| Tubed Preamp recommendations? @bgross I was looking hard at SFL-2 but it was slightly over budget. | |
| Tubed Preamp recommendations? @wolf_garcia I’ve read that the Saga performs way above its price but had nothing to A-B with prior to getting the Primaluna. I’ve left my system on overnight and been listening to the PL all morning, its nizzzzzze. The tubes are stock and new, so... | |
| Tubed Preamp recommendations? @jjss49 Power cord upgrade is done (pic below) Any suggestions for the 12AX7’s?https://freeimage.host/i/2HXPV9 | |

| Tubed Preamp recommendations? Great stuff fellas, Modwright and the DeHavilland are now both on the list and after much reading I took vintage ARC and CJ off the list because I don’t want to have to deal with repairs. Speaking of ARC, there is a fairly modern SP16L that’s avai... | |
| Tubed Preamp recommendations? Thanks for all the suggestions! Keep em comin! The modwright and dehavilland look really nice but would most likely cross the budget line on the used market. QuickSliver is perhaps the most cost friendly unit of the bunch, Primaluna’s open top des... | |
| Tubed Preamp recommendations? @newbee yes its the prologue 3...I assume the prologue premium replaced it? | |
| Tubed Preamp recommendations? @twoleftears ah yes, the QS is also on the list...All these pre’s have great reviews, the open top/exposed tubes of the Primaluna is very appealing but I dont want to weigh too much on aesthetics. | |
| Can anyone recommend a good streamer/DAC? I was facing the same quandary and went against my rule of “buy once, cry once”. I wanted the Cambridge CNX but opted for the Node 2i. It’s a great piece of gear but unfortunately it doesn’t satisfy me sonically...now I’m hunting for a external DA... |
