What is the quietest preamp you've used?


Can you also please tell me whether you were using balanced or se ins/outs? Thanks.

Herrons. Take your pick of model, tubed or ss.

I've had mainly tubed preamps for the past few years including the First Sound, the Rogue, a Joule-Electra LA100 MkIII, CAT.

I wouldn't call the Rogue 99 Magnum "quiet", although it's nice sounding and certainly quieter than the two versions of the 66 I had.

My First Sound Presence Deluxe MkII was indeed quiet.

My current preamp, the single ended, tubed Herron VTSP-1, is the quietest preamp I've ever heard, other than the cutom built ss CTC-Blowtorch. I love my Herron.
