The spider gear and the planet gears are the ones to look for... A lot of folks head straight for the sun gear, but most of them wind up getting burned.

Did you know the word "gear" is actually plural when it refers to a group of like components (eg., "camping gear," or even "audio gear")? Perhaps you were speaking metaphorically, likening a preamplifier to pinion gear, for example.

I see this common mistake all the time and it drives me crazy. Thank you for the opportunity to vent. :)

The original SP-6 preamp and the SP-14 preamp are good ones to look for too.
