Best Tubed Preamp For A Warm, Rich Sound, Yet Still Detailed and Agile
nightfall You have enough in your budget to get the deHavilland Mercury 3 which is an upgrade over the UltraVerve which is an exceptional preamplifier. I was a dealer for them for about 12 years and we had a room together at the Rocky Mountain Aud...
