Need help with a Tube PREAMP.


I currently use a Solid State 2 channel AMP with an Input of 20k(unbal) 40k(bal). I am looking for a great Tube PreAmp for around $2500 that would mate well with the AMP. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I use an older BAT VK 30 with a new Bryston 4B SST2. The 2 work really well together. I use to use the BAT with an older Bryston 4B. The Bat preamp utilizes 6 - 6922/6dj9/E88cc tubes. I am currently using Mullard E88cc tubes series 2493.A beautiful combo. You might even be able to find one of these preamps for a good deal or even a more updated version.

Matt- The MW is a value leader IMO and about as ss-like as you will find in tube line stage. Neutral in my system and was not embarrassed by the much more expensive Doshi Alaap that is covered for while the Doshi was in for service. Enjoy.
This one has the Upgrades too ..Tube 5AR4 rectifier and MW/caps. Should help give it a little more tube sound. I wont get the unit til the 26th..sooo I'm biting my finger nails. I havent had anything close to a good sounding pre amp in a long time.
Have you checked out the Rogue Audio Perseus preamp? It has given new life to my system. It is a good value at around $1895.00. IMO, Rogue Audio makes great stuff for the price
