| Tube preamp noise question As promised, I have an update to the original post. The problem was in the 6SN7 tubes. Thanks to McFarland who graciously supplied me with some spares that he had on hand, I replaced the stock tubes and voila, no more of the noise that was present... | |

| Tube pre-amps $3500 under to add "warmth" Mitch,Thanks for the tip on output impedence. My amps SS amp has an input impedence of 100k so need to keep it at 10k output impedence for the preamp then. | |
| Tube pre-amps $3500 under to add "warmth" Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm not looking for a used unit really, so am going to stick with factory fresh this time. I've narrowed it down to the Audio Horizons, Dodd and Supratek Sauvignon. The Dodd is so new there doesn't seem to be anyon... |
