Well, many of us think that good tube pre-amps are not superior to good SS pre-amps. I think SS gets a bad rap because bad SS tends to sound worse than bad tube equipment and at the lower end of the price scale both are pretty limited.

Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp?
You probably think I'm crazy, but with all the improvements in solid state, are there any transistor preamps that have the following characteristics I hear in tubes?
1. Fully fleshed out instrumental timbre and overtones?
1. Full, alive midrange with bloom, body and dimension?
2. The airy space and separation between instruments?
3. That realness and aliveness of tubes?
4. At a retail of around $6,000 or less?
I'm sure I'll be getting some clashing opinions on this....
