Tube Preamp, uses 6sn7/6sl7. With or Without Phono; With or Without Remote Volume,

We are having dinner tonight, I'll ask about budget? and remote volume priority?

Budget:

$5,000 with phono

$3,500 without phono (he found a phono stage he likes, waiting)

I'm waiting a bit longer before I thank you all for responding!

We fixed his noisy Melos Preamp, dead quiet, no remote volume.

Revision: Remote Volume a must

6sn7/6sl7 still desired tube type.

Budget:

Phono MM and MC included: $5,000 max

No Phono: acceptable, but $3,500 max to leave $1,500 to buy separate phono.

Tomorrow I have time to check out the many preamps mentioned.

thanks, Elliott

Thanks for all the info about that preamp. I'll pass it along to my friend. I suspect he will go for the Cary Direct deal on SP-98P, but you never know.

I use a Vintage SUT, 3 in/1 out

My Vintage McIntosh mx110z has two phono inputs

This old dog has 3 phono inputs
