I have a Decware CPS3 pre-amp and bought some Mullard input and output
tubes from Brent Jessie and a new Mullard rectifier tube and I love it. I find the ability to change the gain on the input and output tubes lets me find the sweet spot better depending on the source and quality and dynamics of the recording and use the volume control wide open. In hindsight I should have bought the Decware ZTpre with the balanced inputs and outputs for my DACs.
I have a Schiit Freya on order for the balanced output to my amplifier and to receive and attenuate the balanced input from my DAC's.
