I will also second C123666's answer on the Audible Illusions 3 and of course the CAT, if you can afford it. I just placed NOS tunsgram 6922s in my AL-3 and it sounds astounding.
Please recommend a good Tube preamp.
Presently have Mark Levinson 383 integrate. Want to try out Tube Preamp. with Kinergetic KBA-280 (140wpc class A). The speakers are Micro Utopia Be. I want to use a sub with these Micros, so also need two pre outs. However a remote is a must. I only listen to CD and FM Tuner (MD-102). Flexible budget; and used is better.
Thank you in advance for all your inputs.
