Owned the 868

I owned the 868 and loved it. I had it paired to a First Watt J2. Dead silent and a magical combo. It was a big powerful sound that was also very musical. Basically, it was a tubed pre- with some balls. I'll be buying it again at some point. I sold it only because I went down the headphone path for a bit because of room constraints. Just so you know where I'm coming from....I value a highly dynamic and immediate sound with a large soundstage. In the past, I've owned the Shindo Monbrison, Tom Evans Vibe/Pulse, and a bunch of others. The 868 is my favorite tubed pre-, the Vibe/Pulse with SET my favorite ss pre.

The phonostage is exceptional.

Hope this helps.
