From what I've read the Bottlehead Foreplay is sonically superior to the AE-3. I've been very pleased with mine. The basic kit only costs $150 and there are excellent upgrade paths and a wonderfully helpful discussion forum. www.bottlehead.com
Audio Electric Supply/Cary AE3 Tube Preamp
Is this really a high end preamp that is suitable for a Bryston 3b or 3bst? The kit is about $400. A used Bryston preamp is about $700? I think building the kit would be fun but what about the sound quality? Thanks in advance.
PS my speakers are b&w805. I am contemplating from NADc340 to used Bryston.
