If you are on a budget and decent quality the Schiit Freya + with tubes $1199
and decent relay controlled volume ,not cheap Alps volume pot that looksÂ
like a round silver can just metal sprayed on plastic wipers.
Tube preamp with Adcom amp
I have been wanting to use a tube preamp in my system but never had the chance to try one. I recently purchase an Adcom GFA-5500 with a Rotel RC-995 and to be honest, is sound good but I want to try something different. I am using the Vandersteen 2ci as my speakers. Due to my style of music, I have always been a SS guy. What would recommend for a tube preamp that will work with the 5500?
