Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls?
CL35 out. Back to the Lamm and trying out an OTL Luxman MQ-36 amplifier. Very intriguing.

Just popped in a Luxman CL35 MK III. Great bass but really cold vocals and the highs weren't delicate at all. Popped in some Telefunken 12AX7s from on of my other preamps and it's sounding WAY better.  Looking forward to a long audition.

I need that ATC-7! Maybe not now- possibly as a retirement gift in a few years. Guessing they never pop up used....

I'm just trying to make it sound as good as it can. No real plan regarding vintage. If I had the space, I would be buying the Lamm tube amps. I know those work perfectly. Bass to die for. 3D imaging. Just awesome. They pop up used from time to tim...

McIntosh MX 110Z in the house. This thing loves Jazz. Tone controls are nice but maybe not at the most useful frequency? I saw something about that on an another post. The loudness is pretty useless. Just bloats everything out. But Jazz is wonderf...

My Luxman tone controls are outstanding. Which one do you use? I'm trying to get my tube tech to let me borrow his CL35 III. I read that the CL34 might be the best sounding, though.

When you say “high end”, I unsure exactly what level you are looking at. The best unit I am aware of is the AVM PA8.3 preamp. You customize the design by choosing the cards you want included and it has both tube as SS output choices and tone co...

Any opinions on C22 v SP-3A-1 v Model 7? I'd like to lean away from the one that would be considered "softest"

SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)?

Would you say that in your experience with Class D speaker matching is easier or more difficult?
