Audio Note M2 preamp (used).
So musical.
Are you also asking for 6SN7 recommendations?
Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp?
A request for recommendations by those with experience with different 6SN7 tubes.
My system so far is a Pass Labs XA25 SS Amp, and a circa 1988 Tannoy FSMs.
The speakers operate at 4 ohms with a 94 sensitivity.
The room size is medium. Acoustically well treated.
I listen at lower volumes 60-75db. Vocals mostly.
I am looking for the most musical preamp, with a remote.
Budget is $3k. Used preferred. Better value.
Not considering anything from Schiit Audio.
Considering- Supratek Chardonnay.
Any other suggestions?
Tube Ideas?
Thank you!

I’m using the Tung-Sol black glass round plates in my Audio Note pre. They are so pleasing to the senses. Some good info... http://www.dehavillandhifi.com/6sn7_vt.htm |
I love my Audio Note linestage. It’s a M2 Special, which I’m told was a custom order from the factory. A used M2 would cost $3000 or less. Audio Note products are built to last a lifetime with regular maintenance and upgrades. Mine is 15 years old and sounds wonderful. It’s dynamic with a wide, deep soundstage, and presents a transparent sense of realism. Not tubey, not clinical. 6SN7GT gain stage with tube rectification and regulation. |
