First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k)
Lots and lots of solid recommendations here. I don’t disagree with any of them. However, I suggest you take your browser to the top the "amps-preamps" section and click on the "Popular all-time" tab. At the very top of that tab you’ll find the "Pr... 
Does anyone out there own a Supratek Malbec or Mondeuse amp?
Slowhand - I apologize in advance. I can't answer your question about any of the Supratek power amps. But I do have a few comments about your Sanders Magtech, if you'll bear with me.I have not owned any of the Supratek power amps. And, given Mick'...

LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ?
This is an excellent question. I am interested in hearing what others think.I had one of my ancient JJ 300Bs die and, due to it happening during the holidays and for convenience I locally purchased a replacement pair from the local JJ distributor.... 
Supratek Owners Thread
I have resolved my hum issue by re-routing the umbilical between the power supply and preamp, along with power cords to other equipment and other signal wires. I didn't take a scientific approach to figure out what was causing what. I just fiddled...

How about resurrect this thread for a bit?@sabih I'm currently using a 300B amp to drive my big old JBLs. I switched from solid state to tubes about two years ago and have no regrets. Economics have played a part of my putting my system together b...

Looks totally awesome. Would love to hear one. Interesting to read Mick's comments regarding new production vs. vintage tubes. 
Supratek Syrah
