| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) Guys so I ended up buying a used ARC Ref 5SE. I found it for the same price as my local dealer was offering for the ref5.Gonna have it sent to ARC to check over and ensure in good condition and then they will ship to me.Thanks for all your help!!!... | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) LOL I am just terrible man :( | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) So my wife actually bought the ref5 that my dealer has on consignment ($6900 CAD all in). Tomorrow I will talk to the dealer to finalize pickup.

| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) @pointtrucking whats wrong with rogue ? | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) @scottya118 Thanks I am looking at the backert.Right now though im leaning heavily to Aric audio's motherlode 2. He seems to have unanimous praise. One guy on audiogon actually preferred it over his Pass XP22. | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) Has anyone compared LTA MicroZOTL vs LS28, ref5se or VAC Renaissance V ? | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) Read 1 guy preferring motherlode 2 to his Pass XP22. Thats pretty impressive.I think @teajay also liked ML2 over his microzotl. But so far have not seen anyone compare ML2 to VAC or ARC. I wonder. | |
| Accuphase e800 or luxman m900u for sonus faber olympica nova 3 Just want to say if your looking for Aries Cerat, recommend Bob ( @worldwidewholesales ). He is a great guy and dealer! | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) I wish someone compared them though. Would make it easier to jump in. | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) @mesch ya I had a long talk with Aric. He is an awesome guy. What I don't know is if ML2 will be competitive or better than stuff like a used VAC Ren V or ARC Ref 5. | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) @ghdprentice really eh?Another option is Aric audio. Mother load 2 or special 6sn7. Looks to be well made. | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) Guys I have an EVO400 that came up locally... $4200 CADAlso dealer selling ARC Ref 5 (consignment) $6900 CADThoughts? | |
| PASS LABS XP-22 vs. XP-12 Stereophile said the BHK and XP22 sounded very similar! Damn. Big respect to the BHK which is substantially cheaper. |
