I have a W-3 and use a Sonic Frontiers Line 3- but it's a bit out of your stated price range. An SFL-2 would be an excellent second choice, and would give you exactly the attributes you mention above- 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
