sunfire classic vacuum tube preamp

  I have been looking for a tube preamp for some time now.  I would like a pre that has balanced outputs and I am looking for a warmer sound.  I noticed that there are a couple sunfire classic preamps for sale on audiogon and it looks like this could be a good choice for me.  Can anyone with experience in this preamp let me know what the sound is like and if this is a good preamp,  thanks

That shop you mentioned is owned or operated by a guy named Roland. They are the service center Bob Carver recommends for original Carver Corp. equipment.

I’m not sure why you’d say they are scammers. They have a good reputation for repair and modding the 1.5’s..

  I ended up buying a musica bella lusso dual mono preamp that uses 6922 tubes from Bill at response audio.  Can't wait to hear it and I will let you guys know how it sounds when I get it if you are interested, thanks Bill
