Tube preamp suggestion

Hello everyone,

I am looking at buying a tube preamp for my setup, I use a vault 2 with qobuz and CD’s ripped in,  schiit bifrost multibit as my dac, odyssey cyclops integrated with passive pre, maggie 1.7i and for cables I use BEL

The main reasons to go for a preamp is to get the tube sound, then in future my intention is to upgrade to mono blocks and definitely would like to have a remote.

I made some choices just based on research, never got a chance to listen. i need some good suggestions as to what might be a good fit. I am looking at spending maximum of 3k.


Rogue rp1

Primaluna evo200

Don saches

LTA MZ2

Odyssey Candela

Rotel base

Freya +

Decware preamp


Thank you!

Of the ones you listed and given what you’re looking for definitely go with the Sachs.  You’ll be thrilled.

For under $3000 it can be tricky but there are some great ones out there,  look at the deHavilland ultraverve. For about $2500 and you can also have the caps upgraded before it ships out. I think they have some of the best service out there. I owned one and really loved the 6sn7 tubes back when I had it. If you want used that opens a lot of doors but that ultraverve is a damn good musical preamp.
