Need preamp recommendation

patrickdowns4 and others of LTA/ Linear Tube Audio praise are absolutely correct. I bought a LTA MicroZotl pre; gave it a shot, played with the tube configuration and decided it beats or as good as my $13,000 Conrad Johnson GAT pre. MicroZotl comes with a built in Headphone amp as well as being an amazing pre with a super volume control; remote is easy to learn in my opinion; its an Apple Remote. Try one out for free for 30 days; call them.

I'd look at Modwright's offerings.

I bought a McIntosh mx110z Tube Tuner/Preamp

I’ve never been happier (I’m 72), terrific tuner, wonderful pre-amp and two MM Phono inputs. I now have TT with two tonearms, that turned out to be a great feature.

Happens to be two for sale here,

this one of the best ones I have ever seen (I don’t know the member, it just came up on hifishark)

the glass face can be replaced, or re-painted, it's just black paint on the back, I broke/replaced mine $45. Seller online sells new glass already painted around $90.

not many have the wood case as both these do.

Concert Fidelity tube preamp is one of the greatest preamps produced.

check out reviews.

If you want to blend in tubes look at the Rogue RP-5 $3.5k new and see if the numbers match up with what you need.  If you need balanced then look at the RP-7 used .  YOu might catch people moving off the 7 up to the 9. Then you can start rolling tubes which is fun.

Rogue gots good customer service as well.
