HELP FINDING TUBE PRE AMP

I ended up getting a musical paradise M 301 Mk 3 deluxe.  Headphone tube amp/ 6.5 w for speakers.  Has some good reivews.

Look for a used Aric Audio line stage or preamp. I believe that most of his offerings come with adjustable gain control. 

SUGGEST you look for a used Audio Research pre-amp.  There is a reason that their early ones sell for many dollars.  I was able to buy an SP-6B for around $800 and it is amazing.  You may have to look a while or raise your budget a few dollars, but you will be very pleased if that is the sound you are looking for.  They have produced the industry standard pre-amps (not EVERY one) for almost 50 years.

Cheers!

Here's another that has some reviews on YT ... Id still stick w above suggestions

There's one on AliExpress for 56 bux ... Id stick with Schitt or Rogue

Look promising good reviews from what I'm reading so far can't seem to find one anywhere though where can I get one?

Rogue 66. Sound you’ll never tire of.

Thank you for your reply that looks like an interesting option.  I'm also looking at Xduoo TA-26 which is a very well reviewed headphone amp that also serves as a preamp read of people having good success using it as a preamp.

Trying to have headphone jack and tube sound.

I dont need gain, just want to add tubbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbe sound to my amp and speakers.  Maybe the xDuoo TA-26 OTL Tube Amp used as a pre amp ?

If you need gain, the Saga won’t work for you. It’s purely passive and only has a tube buffer. It’s a great piece for the $$, but no gain.

Ok will read the reviews, thanks for the post.

Schiit Saga+ $399
