My friend uses the Valvet E3 with his Fleetwood Deville's. Not sure which Pre-Amp he's using. He Loves the combo whatever it is. You can send him a message JOEINID.
Valvet with DAC for volume
I've begun looking at the Valvet E3, Have people had good luck using a DAC for volume control? Or a passive pre? The E3 has 21db gain. You can special order a higher gain up to 30db, though each step will raise the noise floor. I suppose it ultimately depends on your speakers. Mine are Devores, rated 91db, 8-ohm. Devores are easy to drive, but still, 12 watts is not a lot. A higher gain setting is not a great substitute for actual power and I've read that the low 90s db is as low as you want to go with these E3/E2 models.
