Sleeper Vintage Tube Gear?


Hello All,

I'm pretty good with a soldering iron, used to be a tech, and have built a few guitar amps from scratch as well as repaired/modded others soooooo…….

Any recommendations of vintage sleeper tube amps or preamps (home audio) that I can look for to repair, upgrade, modify that would be relatively inexpensive, say $200 each ?

Thanks

Not if you want a stereo thread.

Heath Kit's sound pretty good and are not that expensive. A lot of people overlook them.
In another post I mention wanting to rip my LP's to digital because some were never offered on CD.

I have a Kenwood C1 preamp that I'm thinking of doing some upgrade mods to. I love the sound of tube gear for guitar work and am wondering if something like a Dynaco PAS tube preamp would sound better than the upgraded Kenwood C1 if I modded the PAS' phono section?

Anyone have any experience with this?
