Tube Pre amp with tone control suggestions

I bought an mx110z, one of the best purchases ever made. Extremely versatile old-school, balance, tones, optional low volume 'loudness', 

Terrific sound, great tuner, great sounding Phono, two phono, ...

this helped me decide

McIntosh Mode switch is a great help when balancing your speakers, setting anti-skate, playing mono lps thru only 1 speaker ...

If mine died, I would replace it without even loooking at anything else.

I use SUT for MC cartridge to keep using mx110z's phono!

Everyone:

IF you want to keep an existing preamp or integrated amp, lacking some features, this Chase RLC-1 provides remote volume, remote balance, remote treble and bass, so you make all adjustments from your listening position.

It’s S/N is 120db, no one can tell if it is in or out of my system.

None on eBay now, this one was sold but it shows it well

It also has built-in fletcher musnon ’loudness’ for bass boost at low volumes, only engages at low volumes.

2 outputs

Just to throw an idea in the ring

Use a Vintage Tube Receiver, i.e. Fisher 500C

pull the power tubes, just use the preamp's extensive features.

Out to your power amp(s) two ways:

1. tape out to amp in

2. pull the jumpers on the deck (intended for a reverb unit), use the l/r out to amp

I have two. When you clean all the controls and switches with contact cleaner, they are very quiet and sound terrific. 

here's a listing that shows it well, there are many for sale, and of course other brands receivers, using tape out will work.

At least once, try it as power for your speakers, you might fall in love.
