Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

Most of the 'old' tube pre's have TOO MUCH GAIN in the linestage...

Like the AI 3A. Wonderful. 31 db of GAIN in the LINE stage? Who NEEDS it?
My old Quicksilver is the same way...27db. What WERE they THINKING? 12-15db of gain is plenty, for an amp like that! Read my post above about using my EarMax as a linestage...bet that's about the amount of gain it'll swing.
