Suggestions for a tube pre and power amp

Thanks sls883 for your suggestions. Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL 2 preamp was in my list then I noticed it doesn't have balanced XLR outputs. My Dac is fully balanced and hence I was looking for a fully balanced design. I read recently that it is difficult to find truly balanced tube preamps from input to output. I am not sure if single ended system is good enough or not. I know truly balanced system have better noise cancellation. I don't have an electrical or electronics degree hence don't have much knowledge.

Also I have a question if you have compared Coda No8 V1 with Coda S5.5 amp?Based on my listening I am little confused between No8 and S5.5. I heard that Revel loves power due to impedance dip hence not sure which amp suits my setup.

@lals ,

If you can swing the Backert Rhumba + Coda 5.5 you might swoon on what you would hear. I recently switched from a class AB to class A amplifier ( Accuphase) and now I understand the “magic”. What your friends said about class A is true. Unfortunately you have to experience it yourself. Till that time you will not believe it. That Coda should be able to drive your speakers.

Thank you yyzsantabarbara for your detailed response. Allnic top of line preamp is out of my budget but other model you suggested is very interesting. Thanks for the details about OTL/OCL, Let me do more reading about the Schiit preamp model.

Thank you.

Thank you milpai for sharing your experience with Class A amps.

Luxmsn 590 Mk2 is Class A till 30W and I have also used Sugden integrated amps before, hence I have some idea. Which Accuphase model you are using?

I got the Accuphase A-48S I this last December and it more than comfortably drives my ProAc D48R loudspeakers. Check my system page, for more details.
