Thanks guy - this is going to be my "to the grave" system i don't want to spend a lot of time and money rolling tubes, but i hear you - the least number of tubes i might be able to acquire in a preamp maybe a minimum of 4, for it to be actually a tube preamp (full fledged) but i was trying my luck to to see if there are any other tube manufacturers that employ a single tube in the input/driver section.
Although there are many who has been fortunate to have a hiss/grain/gain free experience with full tube gears, i have been not so lucky in my pursuits hence i would like to keep my tubes as minimal as possible.
Unfortunately CoIncident is not a balanced design, but looks like i am headed towards VAC,BAT,LAMM etc now..maybe even Atmasphere (but just too many tubes!)
