| Who makes this Pre-amp? If I recall correctly I seen a few used TRL Dude preamps that had an option volume control along with the core requirements you laid out. There are a number of rightly regarded members praise it somic capabilities.. | |
| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? Markus - based on many reviews on both the Sachs and Supratek I believe you’re going to be happy one way or another. I’ve experimented with many high quality preamps with different tube configurations, and to me the 6sN7 is king, and not by a smal... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Like others my go to has been the bulletproof EML and previous to that I did use the Sofia RP, they sounded great like others have reported one can fail prematurely and leave you with a chalange finding a match.I see the Elrog’s are still for sal... | |
| Who makes great active preamps ? Tube or solid state or hybrid. Given my passion in tube based Preamps, I've observed we get consistently good reports by respected contributors here that Ear, Shindo, Allnic, Backert, Vac, VTL, Aethetix, Hovland, and ARC are terrific choices. Personally I’ve got a soft spot for... | |
| CD no more produced? Motörhead - like you I deal with Elusive Disk, however they are in Anderson Indiana (near Indianapolis).Thrilft store are a good source if you have time to sift through, otherwise the industry has just about completed morphing to the online model.... | |

| Tube Preamps..... I would concur with recomondarions on preamps based with 6SN7 tubes. There is something special about this tube type, and there is (relatively speaking) a great selection of old tubes that you can roll with terrific sonic changes. Something SS wil... | |
| Herron 1A,, Herron 2A, Modwright LS100 or Aesthetix Calypso? What when I've heard Aesthetix and Herron side by side I've liked the Herron way better. I will also echo the sediments about Keith Herron, he's a gem. It's well documented that the Aesthixs are fussy on tubes, and have a high tube count. This mak... | |
| Your Nominations: Top Phono Stages under $1,000 By all accounts a used Sutherland, Tom Evans Microgroove would be worthy of your consideration. There's also the EAR 834p that depending on the version/vintage will sell below your maximum. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Nordicnorm - like you I had a Doge, inky black line stage, great dynamics and separation of players on the soundstage. What I couldn't appreciate was it seamed like the midrange was turned down as a tone control might do. Further in owning other ... | |
