Preamps-Tube

I've been searching for a preamp to add to my Thiel & Pass Lab system to " attenuate digital glare" in the 2-7k hz range

I've been looking at the CJ & Rhuma preamps.

Recently, I have read that the BEST preamps all use tube rectifiers and THEY are the ones that give the good, lush high frequencies.

opinions?

I don't think my ModWright LS36.5 is overly lush, but it's pretty darn good; works great with my Pass as well.

My ears always seem to prefer tube preamps and Phono stages that use tube rectification in their power supply,  bear in mind this is within an apples to apples price range point.

Hi Jeff,

I've never heard of the Rhuma preamp, but if you are seeking a lush sounding preamp, CJ is a good place to start.
You may also want to try a Cary or Joule Electra preamp.
