Sleeper Vintage Tube Gear?

Hello All,

I'm pretty good with a soldering iron, used to be a tech, and have built a few guitar amps from scratch as well as repaired/modded others soooooo…….

Any recommendations of vintage sleeper tube amps or preamps (home audio) that I can look for to repair, upgrade, modify that would be relatively inexpensive, say $200 each ?

Thanks
gorquin

1 thread is enough?"

Not if you want a stereo thread.

Heath Kit's sound pretty good and are not that expensive. A lot of people overlook them.

I think a vintage tube or SS preamp in the signal chain will impose too much of its sound on the recordings. I would bypass the preamp and go directly into a CD recorder. Its a much cleaner solution, and if you want to do any type of processing, it will be much easier to do it working from a CD.
