Sunfire Classic tube preamp????

[warviper]

Any thoughts? Just got my self a sunfire amp and verry happy with the sound but its runing through my yammy avr rx2300 and Im gonna move it to the bedroom and make a pure two channel rig with some sda1cs that Im getting. But back to the point, I should be getting a good deal on it, by the way how much should one of these go for new, and I wanna get into tubes but if the sunfire is crap please let me know or if there is better out there I wanna know also. Thanx for the help.:D

Better ? There's always better out there regardless of where you draw the line. You wanna spend $25k for a tube preamp that MIGHT be the best one out there ? You can ...

The Sunfire is about $1500 MSRP and half that used.

PW of course I meant comparable to the cost of the sunfire.:rolleyes: Thanx for the quick response.

I kinda doubt it's crap, dude. Don't you like the amp?..

[warviper]

I like the amp but I have heard that the sunfire sounds dirty because of the tubes. the tubes are change able right?

You can roll tubes in any tube Pre.

Suggest you try a Dynaco PAS 3 or 3x. Always a few on ebay going in the $125 to $200 range. Much cheaper way to test the proverbial waters.

What Sunfire did you bag?

Think about getting the Sunfire Classic Preamp.

No, Which Amp???

I don't have any tube equipment myself, but I'm pretty sure that you can change tubes in almost any case. Just have to make sure it right type or design..

The sunfire mkII its 325 watts a channel.

I knew that...

Memo to self: Work on short term memory exercises...
