Im looking for a very tubie sounding pre.
An open design would be nice and remote.
Price-$500-$800 used.
I know its a tall order but please offer some leads.I could do without the open design and remote if need be.

I found some RCA tubes for it, but it's by far my weakest link. The audcom sounds like SS IMO. I have the 'itch' to move up also :~) I've got some good leads here.Thanks 'philes!

I did mention however I was looking for a pre w/an open design.(exposed tubes) Your comments on the Connie J's interests me a bit. I do want a pre that is very sweet sounding and maybe with a hint of maple syrup but I dont want the detail mucked up either.
