Consider Mapletree Audio. Fantastic preamps. He will customize it any way you want. Not seen on the used market very often and they sell quick when they do show up. Well under $1500 and handmade by a PhD in Electronic Engineering!
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.
