Tube Pre-amp Suggestions.


I have a Coda No 8 power-amp and was looking for some suggestions on what would a good tube pre-amp that would pair up with it?

Thank you!

I was also thinking of changing out my Coda 8 to some Purifi monoblocs. Do you think the same tube pre-amp recommendations stand?

I was also thinking of changing out my Coda 8 to some Purifi (class D) monoblocs. Do you think the same tube pre-amp recommendations stand?

@kds 

I wouldn't know about that as I have no experience with class D, or specifically, Purifi amplifiers.

@kds  if the budget is $3000, get this Tube Preamp. Get the 6SN7 tubes - https://www.schiit.com/products/freya-f

 

 

 

And for monoblocks of the Purifi cloth. HELL YES.

 

Get two monoblocks from Buckeye. This is the top of the line Eigentakt Module - https://www.buckeyeamp.com/shop/amplifiers/purifi/1et9040ba/monoblock

 

I use Purifi Eigentakt Monoblocks in my MoFi Sourcepoint 888 setup and the damping factor means the control of transducer is seamless without any sag or lagging. Incredible headroom with wire on gain performance

Another vote for a BAT valve option, used if necessary. In my experience they walk all over price-equivalent Audio Research options. Much better soundstage and dynamics.
