Top ten tube preamps

Well I will add one I think is pretty good. It isn't anywhere near as expensive as the others mentioned, but I think equipment should be a balance of price and performance. It is fully balanced and tubed, the Cary SLP-2002.

Does Shindo have any Northeast retailer?

The US importer is Jonathan Halpern at Tone Imports. He is a great guy and will point you in the right direction.

I replace my accuphase c-2800 preamp with a lamm LL2 deluxe and the lamm lack in detail with high's/lows until I replace the stock tubes with mullards. The Lamm LL2 deluxe is an outstanding preamp when it consist of mullard tubes. The tube depot carries the black sable mullards that are truly the best tubes I have ever had in my preamps. It totally change the quality of the Lamm LL2 Deluxe.

Gotta love that expression"harmonically bleached" is that the same as squeaky clean?Imagine asking someone what his impressions were of the pre amp he auditioned and the response was"well it was harmonically bleached"Now how dumb is that.
