+1 on the PS Audio BHK Sig Pre. The tube input stage makes all the difference.
Roll in the right NOS vintage tubes and this pre, at least in my system, punches well above its weight.
Help, which preamp to buy from my shortlist?
Looking to buy a "near vintage" preamplifier. Between these, which of these do you recommend based on experience (sound quality and build quality)? Or which of these wouldn't you buy based on previous experience? I like all of these based on price, condition and compatibility (input & output impedance, etc.) but can't decide on one (or even two). My source is strictly line level (computer based with DAC).
