Back to tubes?


Seriously thinking of replacing my SS pre with a tubed linestage. Contenders include ARC Ref 5 and VTL 7.5. Certainly open to suggestions as well.

Plan to keep the Boulder 1060 for now.

Could pull the trigger on a Boulder 2010 but I am well aware that the cost of a component is often not commensurate with its performance.

A strong 2nd for Shindo! For new gear and no discount, the Monbrison is a bit less than the Ref 5 and the Masseto is a bit more. And with each you get a world class phono stage.
Allchemie - If you have heard the Shindo Masseto and/or Monbrison, can you please elaborate on your impressions in more detail as to what you believe is better about the Coincident Technology (both linestage and phonostage)?
