| Would like to try a tube preamp after years of solid state and hybrid Thanks to all who have shared their advice and experience with me. Unfortunately, vehicle repairs were WAY more than expected and have put this idea on hold. In the meantime, I have been re-capping some older equipment. Cheers! | |

| Would like to try a tube preamp after years of solid state and hybrid Lou, Thanks again. I have been reading all of the praises regarding ARC equipment, and I'm sure that it is justified.

| Would like to try a tube preamp after years of solid state and hybrid @immatthew - Thanks for the additional input regarding Cary equipment. I wasn't able to find as many reviews about the 70, but based on reviews about the 98, I agree that it should perform at a much higher level. Based on that potential, I haven... | |
| Would like to try a tube preamp after years of solid state and hybrid @sls883 Thanks for the information on the listing. If you have the time, could you give your opinion as to where the PV-14L rates on the tubiness spectum? Thanks | |
| Would like to try a tube preamp after years of solid state and hybrid Thanks so much for the input so far! @sls883 - I've been looking at that one. Their ad states that the remote is not included. Most of what I read claim that the 80's era C-J's were the "classic" tube sound. Would you characterize it's sound a... | |
