I’m looking for recommendations for a tube preamp with a warm presentation, good soundstaging and imaging, and low-end extension. It will replace my Rogue Perseus Magnum, which is a detailed, neutral sounding preamp with a great amount of extension in the highs. Even using Mullard Longplates, I’m not getting the sound I want.
The preamp is paired with a Sunfire 300 which has an input impedance of 42 kOhms and input sensitivity of 1.64V. (Single-ended).
The rest of my system is comprised of: ARC CD3 mk II Linn Axis TT Gallo CL-3 speakers Purist Audio Aqueous speaker cables Cardas Parsec ICs Audience PowerChords
The ideal preamp will reproduce classical music in an organic and natural way. (Not looking for vintage). My budget is $2000 to $2500 used. Any help is much appreciated.
We have a dealer in NYC but he does not have the UV-1 in stock. Not many dealers do at this point- Essential Sound in Chicagoland is likely the closest right now.
