Do try the Sonic Frontiers. I used a SFL-1 for several years with a simaudio 4070. The N.E.W P3[single-ended triodes] was special on the sim also. However N.E.W. is out of business and the pre had no remote. Cary can repair them though, I've heard. Good luck.
tube pre amp to match Sim audio w-3 or w-5
I have never had a tube pre-amp so I would like some input.
I do not need a phono, but I would like a remote.
I am looking for a tube pre-amp that has some warmth but is also accurate, the pre would be used with a sim audio w-3 or w-5 amp. I do like a "thick" or "dense" soundstage.
i would buying from audiogon (used) and would like to spend a max of 1500
thank you in advance
