Which preamp Dodd or Cary slp-98L

Never heard the Dodd, but am no fan of the 6922 tube. The Cary is a superb preamp for the money; be sure to hear the F1 version (direct coupled with oil caps), it's more extended and has superior bass compared to the basic '98.

Cary SLP-98L...works very well with my vintage pair mcintosh mc-225....SLP-98 with 2 out puts....cheers!

Thanks for the info, hope to get more opinions.

Cary sounds dark, slow and anemic next to Dodd.
If you compared Dodd to lets say Supratek or Modright, it would be a lot more interesting then Cary. What qualities are you looking for? Your system and preferances would help others help you.

Thanks Mrjstark, like I mentioned I have a McCormack DNA-500 powering the Usher Be-10s and a Focal Utopia subwoofer.
My source is the Audio Aero Capitole MkII and I think it is terrific. I listen to mostly smooth jazz. Just purchased a couple of XRCD with bossa nova and it sounds great. I have an old Melos which replaced a Bel Canto pre2. I really injoyed the tubes in the preamp and figured on a better pre.
I saw a Joules 150 on audiogon, don't have a fortune to spend, still paying the Ushers and trying to modify the living room for better sound.
