Reference Full Function Tube Preamplifier


Happy and healthy holidays to all!
I’m trying to decide between two reference level full function tube preamplifiers. My decision is between the new Luxman CL-1000 line/phono preamplifier and VAC Renaissance Signature 2A SE line/phono preamplifier. I wish I could afford the VAC Master, but alas, no. Anyway, I’d very much appreciate any thoughts and experiences of members. Thanks to all!

What great choices to have in front of you! I'm a huge fan of VAC's fully balanced, zero-feedback, transformer-coupled Class A1 triode design.  System synergy is key and i too would be interested in knowing the amp.
This one reason I went with the VAC Ren MKV line stage only.  I like the flexibility of choosing/future swapping my phono stage.  I have my VAC line stage paired with a Herron VTPH-2A and love the synergy.
