You might want to check out Brown Audio Labs. I currently have Denny's SP-2B model which uses 9 pin tuned plus has a ballance control. It is very good. A few years ago I had an Audio Research SP8 which was beautiful ounding but had very little base reproduction. It was restored by Audio Research themself with ne tubes. My Brown Audio Labs model is truly exceptional for the money. Plus it's phono section is it's best festure by fsr. Oh yes, it cost me only $1194, which included shipping.
Are there any $1500 tube preamps that that can compare with Tubes4hifi's SP14?
Reviews on the Tubes4hifi's SP14 are consistently positive and so many people are blown away by them. I haven't heard one but I want one. I want to upgrade and would like to know if there other ones that can hold up against the SP14 at the $1500 price point.
