the search for a tube preamp
Well, I've got a set of 4311 b's, a Crown PS200 on the way (thanks Triumph Don), now I'm looking for a tube preamp.
Preferably something from the same era or close to it, must have a phono stage, preferably with tone controls. Was thinking AR SP3 might fit the bill.
But I really have no idea and am open to suggestions. It could also be something modern, there seems to be a dizzying array of stuff out there. I'd also prefer something north american, to go with the other north american stuff in the chain. But that's not a deal breaker and price is a consideration too. Don't really want anything that outperforms the other gear in the chain.
Ok, once again, thanks for all suggestions that may be forthcoming!
Cheers,
Bernie

If You want tube sound: why not place an effect box in the tape loop?
SPL Channel One
SPL Tube Vitalizer
It has the advantage that You can remove the boxes from the signal path.
