The preamp is EAR 864 (valves with output trannies), quite a heavy and solid one. I am in a tweaking mood but I'd love to hear some recommendations first. Would you try to improve its sound trying to reduce vibrations in it and how? Would you place it on a granite slab coupled with spikes, or would you place it on granite slab and put soft cushion or inner tube to decouple it?
What is the common knowledge re valve preamps, what normally works better?
