I am using high efficiency speakers (97db) and want tubes so the noise issue has been very important to me. I have used a number of linestages over the years and by far the best sounding AND quietest is my current Herron VTSP-3AR02. The Herron embodies an uncanny ability to preserve the musical flow, is easy to operate with a number of useful features and is absolutely dead quiet. It also has the ability to adjust output (essential in my view) so that folks like me with speakers that super efficient can dial down the output to bring the noise floor down even further.
Most Quiet TUBE Preamp. Linestage. $ 12K or less
Hello gentlemen.
I am on the market now for an all TUBE preamp. Linestage only. My budget is $12K new or used. A main criteria is this tube preamp must be "Noiseless".
My main beef with tube preamps in the past is the Noise. I want dead silence. No HUM, No Buzz just dead silence.You can literally put your ear to the chasis and hear nothing.
Is there such an all Tube preamp that is Dead Silent ?
THANK YOU.
Joe
