Tony - you're welcome. Please keep me (us) posted. I'm preamp shopping and will probably do a piece of Schiit for the short-term. Am hoping Dennis will do me a pair of 6922s feeding a pair of 6SN7s with tube rectification. And a remote volume control, of course.

My lp-2 upgraded to lp-3a has 6h1ns feeding a single 6cg7. I rolled some 6922s and ended up back with the Russian Rockets. Of course Dennis originally designed the pre around those RRs. The point I really want to make is that I love that Preamp. It is a great piece. I have an Lp-27a special edition which does have some clarity and refinement the other does not but those little tubes sure do sound nice. I have no plans to get rid of either one. |

My new-to-me Schiit Valhalla 2 uses a pair of 6N1Ps (6922, etc.) feeding a pair of 6N6P tubes. Should be interesting to listen to as it breaks-in (arrives next Wed).

Would you kindly explain what are the differences between your "Special Edition" and our normal LP-27a? Thanks!

Sorry, I wish I new more. My wife got the 27 for me for Christmas a couple years ago. I gave her Dennis # and had been in discussion earlier with DH and said that I wanted one with " the works". A stepped attenuator and some upgraded parts as I remember but I do not recall the particulars if I ever new them. It is signed as a LP-27a 'Special Edition'. I can post a picture of the innards if you would like to compare. |

The LP-27a is a nice little preamp. I have a standard build one in the copper color. I just wish my black PSE amp matched it.

I’m not sure if any Inspire products are truly standard. There appear to be default circuit and parts choices, but running changes appear to be the norm. |

This may have been asked before, but do any of you LP-27a owners have a favorite tube combination you prefer to use in it.

I go for the balloon-type 56's (any brand, these just sound more transparent than the 27's in my system), with a Pope 80. I've returned to the original 6BX7 for the input from a Psvane 6SN7. YMMV
