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

RE: Preamp Recommendation For Sophia 91-01

The M3 is a dated design.Many like its' sonic signature,but I find it dark (and the AIs eat tubes).
The VTL is probably more "forward" than the other two.Not sure how "tube rolling" affects this unit.
The Joule will probably be the most organic of all three-which is why you may prefer its' sound.And probably sporting slightly better parts.
The burn-in on the amp should be done before making any final decisions.No matter what one observes,the end choice will be made with your system,in your room with you being the final judge.
What might be one persons choice may totally put you off.Trust your ears.
