Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

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

Take a look at the Blue Circle DAR

It is a 100W(8 Ohms)/150W(4 Ohms) hybrid integrated with a 6SN7 "preamp" section. There are 2 pretty good reviews on the the site (go to the URL below) which describe its strength and weaknesses. Gilbert Yeung can customize it for you: for example, you might want polished SS knobs instead of the wooden ones. I have heard this amp and rolled a number of 6SN7GT tubes into it when it was debuted at RMF in 2008 (I think). NOS tubes generally worked better than the EH it came with. I heard it with some smallish JM_Reynaud Cantabile speakers and the combination was quite delightful to my ears.

Good luck in your search.
