I'm having preamp envy!

If I do upgrade my preamp, it will almost certainly be with either VTA's fully upgraded SP14 or Don Sash's version. Right now I have an all 12au7 Rogue Audio RP-5 which I assume is holding back the SQ of the ST-70 a bit now, and also my CJ Premier 11A. But I do like the sound of that Rogue with (pre-war) Russian Gold Lion 12au7s, and it's been so reliable too.

A 6CG7 could be used... - 1973shovel 09:09:23 04/03/23 (4)

Would that be easier than just replacing the driver board with the VTA Octal one? - JoshT 09:14:27 04/03/23 (3)

It would certainly be "easier" from a physical labor standpoint - 1973shovel 09:53:40 04/03/23 (2)
