Why? Why??? Sure you can buy vintage, but WHY??? when there are SO MANY exceptional preamps on the market today that take advantage of more modern and better technologies? Dude, dump your money into the past or maybe look to the future.
Help, which preamp to buy from my shortlist?
Looking to buy a "near vintage" preamplifier. Between these, which of these do you recommend based on experience (sound quality and build quality)? Or which of these wouldn't you buy based on previous experience? I like all of these based on price, condition and compatibility (input & output impedance, etc.) but can't decide on one (or even two). My source is strictly line level (computer based with DAC).
