Amp/Preamp Asylum Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here. |
|
I am considering whether to upgrade my pre-amp. I currently have a a 15+ year old, quicksilver line stage with windmill getters.
I am looking for a 3-dimensional imaging and textured euphoric mid range.
I am trying to narrow my search. Can anyone provide feedback on which of the features below that I should look for in a preamp??
- Tube rectified
- larger tube (6SN7)
- tube type (6SN7, 12AX7 etc)
- premium caps and parts
- mechanical volume control
- dual mono
- other??
The rest of my system includes AES six mono blocks, bel canto dac 2 and Maggie 12s.
