So damn hard deciding which tube preamp to buy!

So you have $10 to $25k. What do u do??? So many names. Cant test them cause no one nearby stocks them, and not broken in.

What does one do??

First decide on what type of tube sound you like 6SN7, 6922/6DJ8, DHT, etc. then look at the construction tube regulation, tube rectification, choke loaded, transformer coupled, etc. If you don't know this then you will be at it for a long time. What is in the power supply, transformers, brand of caps & resistors, etc. Point-to-point wired? Is the PS supply separate? Happy Listening.
