Great, thank you all very much. Just what I am looking for. One advantage of buying a product marketed for 3 years now. ARIC 1,650 DON 2,650 DEHAVI 2,995 SUPRATEK 2,300 I heard from a guy with the xa25 who has both the supra and a s.s. diy kit designed by wayne coburn. cost 200 for parts. He likes the clarity of the ss more, I may do the diy for now and when i miss the remote too much, buy a solution model. |
There are plenty of used low cost solid state preamps that offer “clarity”, if that’s what your looking for. The original post reads “Best 6SN7 Preamp...” Few or none of those SS kits will match the musicality of a really good 6SN7 tube based preamplifier worthy to match up well to a Pass Labs XA-25 amplifier. |
I agree with mboldda1 The Ultraverve never fails to amaze me. I use mine with a vintage 5692 6sn7 military tube. It also sounds great with the usual suspects: Tung sol round plate GT, Raytheon vt-231, Sylvania W, Kara, the designer of the Ultraverve is very responsive to questions, upgrades, etc. She recently upgraded mine with Dueland caps. I run it through my Bryston 14bsst. Highly recommended! |
