In Reply to: So why do you own 2 preamps that employ 6SN7's? posted by Rick W on August 7, 2016 at 08:08:35:
.... to remind me of my mistakes!!
No, 6SN7 type preamps are good, but there others much better. I still have the 6SN7 preamps for display. Owning a thing does not mean using them. Unfortunately, I am not as addicted to audio as before. I put my money on other things now as my audio gear sounds right to me already.
Am I suggesting 76 type preamp to you, are you asking? If so then yes. Better yet, find someone who's into the hobby with a preamp (76, 26, 4P1l, etc.) and listen to it or borrow it if you can then you will be able to relate what I meant. IMHO, no 6SN7 preamp can touch the DHT type preamps, any time of the day. If you do not want DHT tubes as the PSU needs to be quiet, extra cost and care, then the 76 IME is the closest to it.
