These are the three pre amps I believe I have narrowed it down to. Has anyone done a comparison the three sonically? Am I missing any good tubed pre amps under the $1500 dollar mark? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks,
Here's a 2nd vote for the VTL 2.5TL. Try to make sure you get the "v.2" version--only way to tell is to call VTL with the SN of the unit you are buying.
Regarding noise floor.... was it background hiss with your ear up to the speaker and no music playing? If so, this is very typical of many tube preamps but usually not noticable while playing music.
