If You Were A Swine Looking To Choose Between 3 Preamps...


Looking to make a choice for a pre to use with an H2O audio 250 Signature amp I recently acquired. The amp sounds lovely running off the tube stage of a Musical Fidelity NuVista integrated. On a lark I boght an Edge SI 1M pre amp to try with it. If this combo doesnt work out, then it gets paired with a First Watt F7 I have.

In that case I need to look at a different pre, and may go tube as the Nuvistor internals on the MF work well with this amp.

Being a pig of limited means I have looked at the used market and came up with 3 interesting choices.

Allnic L3000 MK II

Line Magnetic 512 CA( Japanese voltage)

Triode Corp Trv 4se

Any one of these have to be bought un-auditioned, as two are coming from Canada, one from New York.

Anyone have any insights of the 3 candidates?

I have an Edge signature 1.1 se and it's  a fantastic pre. Also have an Allnic L3000 tube pre that I switch in an out. Both are top quality 
Preamp. Best wishes
