| Can Anyone Identify this Tube Preamp? I would have to agree the lack of branding and hand writing on the chassis looks like a home built preamp. | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? I have a custom amp and preamp from Deja Vu Audio both are point to point wired and both around 15 years old. Other than replacing tubes I've had to clean the volume control of the preamp once. The amp once blew a resistor when the voltage in my h... | |
| Aurelic G2 or Aurender N10 @gawdbless lol I don't know but why keep it in the box it's great to listen to I run mine constantly! :) | |

| Unforgiving DAC or add Tube Preamp?? Audio Doctor I will live with my being wrong then. :) Your car analogy however is not a very apt one. Modern cars are in some ways built to a lower standard than older cars. One of the reasons I've stuck with my current car, a 2003 VW Passat, is f... | |

| Curious about running a tube pre into a SS integrated I would suggest if you really want to go the tube pre/ss amp route you ditch the integrated and go with separates. | |
| Aurelic G2 or Aurender N10 @uberwaltz Hey man I didn't know you got a Mini! Good for you they are pretty hard to find as Auralic doesn't make them anymore. Sorry you don't like Lightning DS I find it to be a good app and fairly intuitive. I hope you get used to it. How do y... | |
