It may be tough to audition, but try listen to a tubed Silvaweld SWC-1000 linestage:
Remote controlled volume, selector, and phase.
Nickel-alloy transformer coupled using 417A triodes.
Separate power supply uses 300B as voltage regulator and
5R4GT as rectifier for ultimate sonics and musicality.
Both fully-balanced and single-ended inputs and outputs.
High purity solid silver internal wiring with teflon insulation.
Ultra-high precision, 31-step silver contact attenuator.
Chassis handcrafted from solid aluminum with engraved lettering.
Frequency response: 5 - 100Khz (-3dB)
S/N : 95dB
