"Top 5" Monthly Voting Thread: TUBE PRE-AMPS
This time we’re looking into separates, and how to harness raw power on an amplifier with some glowing beauties. Here we will be hashing out, as a community, the Top 5 PreAmps - Tube someone can buy in the following price points (1 for each price):
- Budget: $0 - $100
- Entry-Level: $100 - $500
- Mid-Range: $500 - $1,000
- High-End: $1,000 - $2,000
- Sky’s the Limit: $2,000+
Beyond aesthetics, many of us, both inside and out, of the r/VintageAudio community have found that vintage gear offers the most bang for the buck, and the reason why threads in r/Vinyl, r/Audiophile and elsewhere all point to Vintage gear for first time buyers. After 4 weeks of voting, results will be turned into permanent features in the community sidebar as the community's official recommendations. Note – If one category has significant support for more than one Tube Preamp, we will include honorable mentions in the final listing.
