Help selecting a tube preamp

[Deleted member 15865]

Thanks for sharing your journey with Lyrita preamp.
Some of our FMs called it little bright.
Your opinion please.

I didn’t feel that way. My speakers are on warmer side (Castle Knight 2) and the SS amp (Audiolab 8200A whose power side I use) is neutral-bright. The overall sound I get is lively, but no way bright. Fatigue-free - I listen for hours together - something I cannot do with just the Audiolab (integrated mode) working. Any less highs than what I hear with my system (with Lyrita in it) and it‘d get into the boring range.

Thanks so much to all for your inputs and the time with this thread .

At last picked Acoustic portrait swara preamp tube.
Very much happy for the songs which I hear often but worried for the fast beat songs it lacks something not that much Musicality
Hope it improves.
