Preamp you love with your 8b

[MNmarantz]

Let’s keep the 7c out of the conversation. It’s on my bucket list and someday I’ll own one. I’ve found my keeper amp. Love everything about it. I’d like to hear what everyone else has tried with an 8b and been happy with and what you like about the pairing. I realize speaker and source choices are very important as well.
Thanks for incoming suggestions.

I own a 7t and was surprised how much I loved it. I bought it for it's looks and that it was a fraction of the cost of a "c". I just hoped it would sound half way decent... it was way more than decent.

I've used it with 8b and Mac 275-vi tube amps and Bedini and Pass SS amps. All good.

My no-name home brew preamp works well with my Mr. B.

maybe ask in the Marantz forum? There are some other AK'rs that have posted about there 8's and 8B's there.

Good to hear the 7t is worthy. My needs to go under the soldering iron.
