  1. How did it sound to you? I just had a bad experience with a hybrid preamplifier. Two 6299 tubes no tone controls and made any horn unlistenable. Harsh. Now my McIntosh C20 is so flexible, no problem.
    I'm just wanting a better preamp that the stock PAS 2, for my ST-70. Which don't want to dump a lot of money into. And bypassing the tone controls is not one of the mods I would do.
    Anyway at the price you have on the pre. I better get it before someone else.

  2. I would have been interested if Mottram would have installed the tone controls. Nice preamp otherwise.

    Since it was built for you. Would you mind contacting Roy. Inquiry on tone control price upgrade for me? I'm still interested.

  3. I built the VTA ST-70 with 6550 output tubes about this time last year and it's given me zero issues. It went together without much of a hitch and I agree in how good these amps sound and perform. It started out on my CF-3's and is now running my Belle clones with authority. Bob is top notch helpful and it honestly doesn't get much better. I believe I'm going to order the cage for it from Dynakit soon. Just trying to decide if I want black or brown.

    So that is what my CF3'S were running on. I gave them a quick listen with a Prima Luna Prologue 5 and a horrible hybrid tube preamplifier. A Melos MA-110 B. No tone controls. Nothing but harsh midrange. Don't like 6922 EH tubes one bit. Then tried the same amp with a Adcom GFP-555, ss preamp and all I can say is WOW.....love my new CF's. I am now on the hunt for a good all tube preamp with tone controls. It's a must have for me. Spoiled with the McIntosh C20. All is good avtxguy.
