Usher Amp & Pre?

i use an usher r-1.5 amp with my usher 6381 and the preamp i am using is the belles 21a with auricap upgrade. nice combo. there is an outfit selling belles 21a preamps without the auricap upgrade ($2500) for a little over $2000. you could probaly offer $1700 and get one as this is what they were selling them for when they first started their ad.

i still have the cybers and prefer them to the r-1.5. at 78 tube watts they have more than enough power for the 6381's. i even have a jolida 502b (60 watts) that will drive the ushers. the 6381's are a tube friendly speaker.

it's rated all 150 as class a but it can't biased full out as there is not a lot of heat, some but not a lot. none of the reviews i've read questioned it being 100% class a.
