In Reply to: need a preamp rec that SOUNDS like a SET posted by rhyno on May 5, 2012 at 05:04:34:
I don't know if it "sounds like a SET" (what is that sound?) but I've been running a BAT VK-50SE preamp for 10 years now and I can vouch for its reliability and the long life of the valves in the unit. In fact, I am just thinking of replacing the tubes to see if a new set of 8 will make a difference in the sound (I think the volume has dropped a little in the last months or so).
It's a balanced preamp (there are no RCA sockets) and has a very handy remote control.
You can find these on the used market for under $4000.
Regards,
Geoff
