[bing!]

I just bought a used pre, the LP3a. Also got some Westinghouse copper rod 6SN7s and a Sylvania 5Y3WGTA to replace the JJ's on it.

I wont be able to test it for a little while. I'm waiting for a pair of XLR shorting bars for my amp to go single ended.

It's going to be an unusual pairing. I think I've optimized my system as much as I can afford. The pre will replace a Jolida Fusion pre with Telefunken 12AX7s and RCA black plate 12AT7s. Downstream is an Audio Research VT100 with Genalex Gold Lion 6922s and Sovtek 6550WEs. Its already a pretty good sounding rig. I'm just trying to find just a tad more realism. My speakers are Zu Omen Defs.
