Really loving the sound of the Doge 8 preamp! I'm in agreement with the StereoMojo review of the Doge 8--superb tube line stage sounds highly transparent, accurate timbres, exciting dynamics, excellent soundstage, and extremely low in noise and distortion, adding only a little tube sweetness to the sound, high quality cabinet and parts and comes with excellent tube phono stage and remote--WOW, what more could you ask for--one of the best buys in hi-end audio!
Note: I am using Telefunken 12AT7s in the line stage and Mullard 12AX7s in the phono stage.
