Mark Levinson ML6 mono preamps! Can't afford those? Then the Robert Grodinsky RGR 4 is a good alternative. I am listening to one right now! Check out the review in The Audio Critic!

@wolf_garcia  You haven't lived until you've heard a pair of original Futterman H3AA's with KLH Nines or Quad 57's! Sublime musicality rarely equaled! 
Old Gyrodec and some issues.. Analog Gurus Please chime in!!
