| Vacuum Tube Preamp for Solid State Power Amp Pairing Yes, Aric at Aric Audio should be your next call. His tube gear, easily competes with anything at 3-4X the price. | |
| Solid state amp that tube fan can be happy with? Coda, without hesitation, should be at the top of your list of considerations. | |
| Recommendation for ATC SCM150 Amp/Pre I would definitely reach out to Aric at Aric Audio to discuss having him build a Motherlode specific to your needs. I have had mine paired to the Coda Model 16 to drive some pretty inefficient TAD speakers and the sound is sublime. | |

| Reasonably priced preamplifier You can get a bespoke Aric Audio Motherlode preamp that will far exceed your expectations! Visit his website and call him. | |

| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room TAD, without question! Stunning in every aspect of their offering and not overly sensitive to placement...which in a small room is beneficial. | |
| Looking at these specific preamps give me your opinions No shortage of fellow audio enthusiasts who own and have provided their candid and detailed thoughts on Aric Audio tube gear...myself being one of them. Take a few minutes and call him. His build experience and customer service is matched by only ... | |
| Which preamp for Quicksilver mono amps? I too have heard them with an Aric Audio pre and the match was amazing! Call him, his customer service is as legendary as his tube gear. | |
| Finding a Bookshelf for Luxman C900U/M900U For whatever reason, my comment was removed by the site moderator. No, my error...after I posted my reply I noticed the OP's budget. | |
| Are Pass Labs XA60.8 mono amps enough? I had the Pass XA60.8's driving the Focal Sopra II and they were more than enough to make them sing with no strain at all. Pair them with a tube preamp to tame the slight brightness that Focal's are known for. |
