Tony J Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Hi All, I am looking for some advice on a tube preamp, my current system consists of BlueSound Node II going into a passive Axiom II to a First Watt F6 Clone to the Forte IIs. I would like to try out a Tube pre to switch out the Axiom. price range is around 500-800 used. I narrowed down a few in that range so far Cary SLP- 50A, AES AE3, and Aric Audio Unlimited. Any other suggestion's or thought's on the ones I posted. On the very low end price wise would a single tube Schiit Saga even be worth trying out? Thanks All Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmi Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I'm a big fan of Cary products, having a SLP98 for a pre. I haven't had any experience with the ones you mentioned, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikon f Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Take a look at the Bottlehead Quickie battery powered tube preamp. Only $99 batteries not included. Easy and fun to build, moron proof assembly instruction. Great sounding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony J Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Went with Aric~Audio unlimited preamp, read many great reviews about him and his amps/preamps, sent him some questions and responded very quickly. I'll let you know my impressions once I get it. Thanks everyone for your input. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
