I second the Capri, the sound is lush, liquid, fatigue free and very very musical. Very organic and it does not have the typical soild state etching. but i think you have to pair it with a slightly neutral to warm amp.
Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp?
You probably think I'm crazy, but with all the improvements in solid state, are there any transistor preamps that have the following characteristics I hear in tubes?
1. Fully fleshed out instrumental timbre and overtones?
1. Full, alive midrange with bloom, body and dimension?
2. The airy space and separation between instruments?
3. That realness and aliveness of tubes?
4. At a retail of around $6,000 or less?
I'm sure I'll be getting some clashing opinions on this....
