Looking at these specific preamps give me your opinions


I'm building a system and I have an SMC Audio DNA.5 power amp that was built about a year ago so it's up to date on technology although it is still single ended.  I have NX-otica and OB subwoofers from GR Research.  I am looking for a good preamp.  I have a few in mind and would like some opinions.  I have listed them below.

TLC-2  GT24 built by SMC Audio

VRE-1c made by SMC Audio

Revelation Raven tube preamp by Spatial Audio

LTA tube preamp

The TLC-2 and Revelation would need to be purchased new the others I might catch them online used.

Take a look inside each of them and then tell us what you see?  Parts, transformers, AC chokes, capacitors, resistors, volume control, and what designs they are.  Once you begin to look inside and learn about design, you decision will be come much easier and you will understand what makes sound quality.

Happy Listening
