@Damon I'm not a tube lover, my current amp is a Moon W5 that I've had for over 15 years, with on older Moon Pre amp and my speakers are B&W 803 Diamonds about 9 years old.
@thumb5 I tried the Benchmark DAC3 preamp with my Moon W5 and the sound was too cold and clinical for me. Are the Experts in the same vein?
@no32 What are the advantages of the 400 and older?
I should add that I still listen to vinyl using a moving magnet cartridge so the reported noise issue isn't a concern but and I've read on these forums that the original Premiere had the best quality phono stage.
