The Linear Tube MicroZotl 2 is very good and is actually only about $2,000 new with external power supply. Linear Tube has come out with a dedicated preamp which Terry London of Home Theater review has gone nuts for and is $4500. All the other posters on the thread have given you excellent alternatives.
Might try a tube preamp
I’ve been toying with the idea of giving tubes a try and thought I would start with a tube preamp running to my SS amp and see how I liked it.
After reading reviews and looking through some of the posts here on Audiogon I’ve been thinking of a LTA micro ZOTL or rogue audio RP-7 - each around $5k. Thoughts on these?
Or would I be better off looking for something else used here on Audiogon? Maybe a ARC Ref 5 or LS-28? I’m pretty new to tubes so am open to options.
Thanks
