A liitle more money but a avery good preamp.

Thanks once again everyone,

You have all made this much easier that I expected. I spoke With Mark at Rogue, and he is just as pleasent to deal with as everyone mentioned. I have ordered a Rogue 66 Magnum with remote from one of his dealers and can't wait to receive it. Being completely new to tube gear, does anyone have any additional suggestions for setup, break in etc.

Alan- Great choice!
Get yourself some Black Diamond Racing cones #4
They deepen and tighten up the bass like you won't believe! Get a bit of weight on top of the 66 too.This will help reduce microphonics,again for deeper and tighter bass.The cones and weight combo is the best tweak I believe for tube gear.I use (3) 1 lb. brass cones on top of my 99.
Talk to Mark about filling your output power suppy with sand.This WILL lower the noise floor.Or you can do a search for my description of how to go about it.
Again,great choice Alan!!

As stated above I to have a Bryston 4B ST power amp and had the opportunity to audition,in my own system a Blue Circle
BC3.1, and all I can say is..WOW!!!!!!
In all fairness ,the BC3.1 is a more expensive preamp than my previous Bryston BP 25 preamp,but the improvement in sound is worth every penny.
Before you buy try a Blue Cicle preamp.
They have a excellent entry level preamp BC 21.
There is a couple for sale on Audiogon at this moment.
Customer service is EXCELLENT..
Happy listening..
