Hello, good tube heads! This is officially my first post.
I just ordered an ST-70 off of eBay for $250. This will be my first amp of this quality. The simplicity of design, good reports and vast community support for this amp are why I've picked it. I'm pretty excited about it!
I'm trying to select a decent, cost effective preamp for this baby. Gradually, I'll upgrade into something truly decent, but for now, due to cost limitations, it looks like I may be stuck with a SS design.
I'm considering this one by Rod Elliott. http://sound.westhost.com/project88.htm It provides around 9dB of gain and looks pretty straightforward.
Unless any of you good people can guide me toward a more suitable design, I'll get started on this one. Any suggestions are quite appreciated! Thanks!
