Dear friends,
I have been living on Quad amplification or rather shall pen down my
system so to let you have a better understanding & to reply with ease:

- XLO power cables conencting all electronics
- VDH D102 mkiii connecting source, pre, power
- XLO Ultra6 spk cable (no, i didnt like the biwired sound, hence its
a single length)
- 99pre, 909power, Marantz SA 7001
- B&W 805-S

I have heard DIY tube amps and they sounded quite like anyone would
approve of them, myself alike.

Hence was looking for a Tube pre which at the pretext of giving better
imaging should not just go sterile sounding. I have read of some
options discussed in a thread - ''Preamps under usd2k'' but i could
not find answers w.r.t my preference & system, yet i do have noted two
options from there.

To each his own 'ears' and mine like it lush, rich, encapsulating,
something that brings effortless soudstaging (best within the
individual's budget) ..and also separation, detailed yet softer HF and
faster LF handling. Too much to ask for? ..lets see how close can we
get with all our suggestions working in unison.

Many thanks to stop by and be willing to assist.

My regards
Sid
