Modwright LS 36.5 or BAT VK-51SE
I love my ModWright preamp! I have owned several different BAT preamps, (though not at the same time as the Modwright) and find the sound of the ModWright more to my taste.I also agree that Dan is the MAN!!! He's a pleasure to talk to and work with.

I agree with Jax. The Mullards are still one of my favorite tubes. I also like the Amperex Bugle Boys.
