Just a comment on the advice to use a DAC instead of a preamp. Didn't work for me. The sound with the preamp was far superior. (ModWright 9.0SE and PS Audio Directstream DAC)
Are there any $1500 tube preamps that that can compare with Tubes4hifi's SP14?
Reviews on the Tubes4hifi's SP14 are consistently positive and so many people are blown away by them. I haven't heard one but I want one. I want to upgrade and would like to know if there other ones that can hold up against the SP14 at the $1500 price point.
