hey all I'm planning on building a secondary vintage system and wanted some input on vintage tube preamps
speakers will be older monitor audio gold bookshelves with a pinnacle baby boomer subwoofer
amplification will be a classe ca 101
I want that tube sound for this system.. it will be for low volume listening
I love the japanese gear and theres a luxman CL-32 tube preamp local for under 500, just wondering how good these hold up compared to newer chinese tube offerings, which I know can be quite impressive
how good were the luxman tube preamps from this era? any other recommendations? I'm not fixated on luxman or anything japanese for that matter
my main desire is pure musicality for around 600 or less used, which I know is low for tube preamps..
