Tube Pre-amp under $1000


Any suggestions on the best tube pre-amp I could get for under $1000 that would match my ATI AT 2000 SS power amp and magnepan MG 12 speakers? I primarily listen to vinyl.
Thanks,
Dan

Hello,
I have TAD 150 Signature tube preamp I'm considering selling since I have the upgrade bug once again. It has a very impressive line stage relative to cost. Please google TAD 150 angelfire. The phono section however is OK but nothing great. I had an Audible Illusions Modulus 3 preamp. It offered possibly a smidge more detail than the TAD but was not that good on sound stage and NOT tube warm like. I guess it's a matter of preference. Well made though. Mine ate through tubes. I think you need to run heavy duty russian tubes to get decent tube life. Let me know if you have any interest in the TAD. I'd make a very fair price. [email protected]
