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 second Aric Audio! I have the original Motherlode with a Coda Model 16, and I have put the brakes on the the constant hunt for sonic bliss!
Yawn...you will have either of those two aforementioned pieces up for sale in no time. Look at how many PL owners who put their gear up for sale mention that they are not the original owner.
