Best Preamp for under $1750.00
Hi,Well, I don't know about the "best" preamp, but two you might consider are the Juicy Music peach which has no phono, or SAS Labs 10A. The 10A for years was a major mainstay among audio mags. Now, one aI have heard of lately is the YS audio Symp... 
VDC at a tube preamp's output
Hi, interested in the "Messenger" preamp. I had a hunch that something like that would have to be done. i was thinking since on a tube preamp, there is a B+ and a B-, and maybe using both of them to null out the DC. Well, I wasn't to far wrong. 
Anybody have some experience with Bedini amps?
Hi, After reading the posts, I too had a 25 25, and regretted letting it go. Back in .81,, John used to come over to a house where I was staying. The guy sold stereo equipment out of his house. John brought over an amplifier that was so he said bu... 
Juicy Music Peach?
Hi, I think all of his later preamps are now using the 6H30 tube. It indeed is a giant killer. It beats some 4K preamps. At least, that's what I have read.

Suggestions for a pre amp with HT passthrough?

That Elusive Pre-amp bargain....?
Hi, Check out the Symphony Experience Plus for $690 from Ys-audio, or go to AC and get the Juicy Music Peach for $750, 800 with extra tubes. I know someone who has an AE3DJH. But gotta find out how much he would want for it. That's all for now. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Hi all,Well, just chiming in here. What about this Audio Horizons preamp from Joe Chow. That's supposed to be good stuff too. 
Best small signal tube for a preamp?
Another pair to look at might be either a GE or Silvania 5751 or 5814. Would be interested in your take on one of these tubes. 
looking at some tube preamps,
I might just consider that AE3 preamp. The Mapletree stuff seems like a good deal too. Will have to check out his website and other reviews. 
Do Audio Experience Symphonies leak DC current?
Hi all, I too am considering this preamp. How is the construction of the preamp? is it kinda flimsy casing and so on? This is my first post in this forum. Well, if it's a simple mod of removing a cap, woopy. If it's not built real well, then that ...
