I think the Sonic Frontiers Line will work nicely. Tubes, balanced out (2x)and RCA (2x), DC coupled, low out-put impedance(for tubes), well built, nice remote, and IMHO neutral sound.
1,500 tube preamp which one?
I've budgeted $1500 for a tube preamp. I've a Threshold T-100 SS Amp, Spendor 1/2 speakers and a digital front end. I'm leaning towards a preamp with balanced outs. New or used it doesn't matter. I'd like some feed back.
