Why a tube pre? The Alephs have a very low input impedence, making preamp-mating tricky. Pass Labs reports mixed results with the Audible Illusions Modulus 3. I punted by chasing a used Aleph P($1850), and string'em with fast Nordost Red Dawn IC and revII speaker cables. The Aleph P mates SUPERBLY with the Alwph amps, as you might expect. Good Luck
Best Speaker Wire & Tube Pre for Aleph 3
I am presently running Wadia WT 2000 transport-X64.4 DAC through an OBH 12 (For remote purposes)Acoustic Research SP6C, Aleph 3, MIT Terminator 2 Bi-Wired to a pair of Sonus Faber Concerto Grand Piano. I want to replace the OBH-12/AR SP6C chain with a single unit remote tube pre-amp to make it more simple and less interconects. I'm looking at the AE 3 or the Cary SLP 50B. Any comments on my Speaker wires & Remote Tube pre-amp are welcome. Positive & negative Ok.
