Keep Vintage or sell for new


Currently have a Threshold FET 10_HL preamp which I love but wondering if there is something better out there

Have been considering:

PS Audio BHK preamp or Pass Labs XP12

Should I just sit tight with my Threshold or move to one of the two I mentioned?

For me the replacements I'm considering represent a good chunk of change and sorta hoping any responses will tell me to stick with what I have.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to weigh in.

Your Threshold remains a great preamp with qualities that some new designs cannot dream of.  I remember the rave review at Stereophile by GH.

But reality tells that this is a 30 year old design, a long time for a preamp no matter how state of the art in its days.

Best is to compare it with your mentioned options side by side or take the leap of faith. Most likely it would prove a wise choice.
