Tube Amp Break In

[Ralf11]

ok, I'll say it: Audio Research

 

they make xlnt tube pre-amps - I got my ARC LS-25 Mk II for "just" $2,500 used (all tuned up with new tubes from Upscale Audio) and @Johnseye bought a newer pre-amp for more.  You can search up his comments on here.  I use mine with a SS amp on Maggie 3.7i.

 

AND... it is a serious item with Balanced design and inputs, not just the wimpy SE things on the PrimaLunas (tho the latter do gt rave reviews).
