You don't mention your budget, but I can recommend the Aesthetix Calypso with NOS tubes (Telefunken 12AX7's or Mullard CV4004's). Can be had for approx. $3,200 used.
Has anyone tried Simaudio pre with Plinius amp?
I am on the hunt for a new solid state preamplifier to mate with my Plinius P8 and Dynaudio 2.8's. I love the combo!
I have tried the M8 in the past and didn't care for...a little dry for me. In the past, I had an Ayre k3x and enjoyed it quite a bit. The K1xe is damn attractive, but also a lot of do-re-mi. I am curious abou the Simaudio and Linar lines and wonder if anyone has mated a Simaudio preamp with a Plinius amp.
My Threshold fet two series II arrives shortly, but I know I will want to try a couple of other preamps before I settle in....
Thanks and enjoy the tunes!
