Hello all -

To change things up, I am considering trying something different - although I love what I have. I know 'synergy' is everything, and am curious what something else may sound like. I currently have a TAD Signature 150 tube Preamp.  There were only 350 ever made, and I own one.  They are VERY rare on the used market - I've only seen two (The one I bought, and one other) over the last 2 years.  Here is some information:

Here is one of MANY reviews you can find online:

I don't recall, but if memory serves, this retailed somewhere between 1,250 - 1,500 dollars, and is known to be outperform preamp's of equal or greater value.

If you have something that you think may peak my interest, don't hesitate to message me or post here. 

A few miscellaneous things - This preamp has a great phono section MM/MC compatible.

There is one minor flaw with it - when you switch sources (CD/Phono, etc.) the light sometimes blinks on and off.  This has been happening since before I bought it, and never affected anything.

I will include two sets of tubes - It's a great tube rolling preamp - capable of handling 12AX7, 12AT7 or 12AU7.

Thanks,

Pycroft

Sorry to bump so early, but just wanted to clarify, I will only consider trades of another preamplifier - no speakers/amps/sources, etc. considered, unless they accompany a preamplifier.  Thanks to all who've messaged so far!
