yet another tube preamp recommendation thread


hello, currently looking for tube preamp linestage upgrade recommentations.
recently tried an older cary audio slp98p f1 edition with new tubes. i do not need phono capability.
the cary had a lot going for it, an incredible midrange, very good bass and transparency, it just sounded unrefined and ragged in the treble on occasion, possibly due to the new tubes.
a new Slp 98 l with upgrades is a considetation.
also considering primaluna evo 300 or 400
and rogue audio rp7.
i value transparency, refinement and dynamics the most.
thanks.

I did not realize my Studebaker comment would ruffle such feathers. Studebaker was an automobile company which offered a model named Avanti. After looking it up just now, the model was marketed by them 1962 - 1963. (a Canadian co. took over that model for a couple more years) I was off by two years. I only intended an inside acknowledgment to the OP. My Dad had a 1956 Commander, which he taught me to drive in 1965 at the age of seven. (3 on the tree) just a little nostalgia, guys. Sheeze...
jjss, yes, posting or texting is not the best for conveying correctly meant thoughts. Tho all is very good here, AND I do have some great laughs as well.
