Space Tech Labs can build you a single input tube preamp at a very reasonable price. They sell multi-input models, but Albert will pretty much do what you want.
Looking For Single Source Tube Preamp
My system is currently a modified Denon 5910 as my only source, a passive Luminous Axiom as my preamp (volume control), B&K Sonata M200 mono amps, and Silverline Sonata 2 Speakers. I enjoy the sound of this set up; however some of the discs I listen to come out sounding a little harsh. I intend on keeping this a single source system. I have never had a tube anywhere in my system. I was thinking of trying a single source tube preamp to possibly smooth things out a little. I have read some threads, but I can't find much on single source tube preamps. Is there anyone out there with a similar set-up to mine that can offer suggestions?
I am aware of the Decware Zsla-1 preamp; however I have not heard it or seen much about it on Audiogon.
