RE: Ranking Of Vintage Tube Preamps While We Are At It

You left off the Precision Fidelity C7 and variants. If you have as I do, a two source system (tuner and phono) there is nothing better, but a lot that are different.

At least one well-regarded re-builder says the "McShaned" Citation One has the best phono section he has ever heard.

It is mostly about what your system needs. I don't need a remote, but I am thinking about swapping the two mono volume controls for one really good stereo version.

The C7 is an active preamp ONLY for the phono section...the two auxillary inputs are passive. Nice to listen to the radio without turning on the tubes.
