I've compared the Eastern to the Dared 2000A, and the latter wins hands down! The Dared usually can be had for about 350. at auctions here or on Ebay or from the dealer. (PS: I have no interest in the company nor any relationship with any principal; I'm just a standard audiophile) Enjoy.
Need help from tube guys to select a tube preamp
Hi,
I'm seriously considering mating a tube preamp with the McCormack DNA .5. I would like recommendations for a tube preamp, that is remote controlled, and in the $500-$600 range. I have no experience with tubes, but I have heard so many convincing comments that I think I am going to take the plunge with the pre section. I have been told that there is a Sonic Frontier offering that may be a good match. Thanks in advance for any advice.
