Well I heard this preamp once and it was years ago in a retail store and at the time I thought it sounded nice, good holographic imaging seemed transparent but with totally unfamiliar equipment. However I thought and checked online and this preamp retails for $1500 but both units I see for sale here are around $2500? Perhaps I'm missing something but they don't seem like very good deals. Lots of good used tubed preamps in the $2500 price range though few of the tubed units I see for sale now have balanced outputs.
sunfire classic vacuum tube preamp
I have been looking for a tube preamp for some time now. I would like a pre that has balanced outputs and I am looking for a warmer sound. I noticed that there are a couple sunfire classic preamps for sale on audiogon and it looks like this could be a good choice for me. Can anyone with experience in this preamp let me know what the sound is like and if this is a good preamp, thanks
