For all you tube lovers and tube wannabees (are you listening, Robin?): Balanced Audio of Delaware has just announced the release of 4(!) new tube preamps. There's stuff on their website if you're interested. They are (in order of decreasing cost): The Rex, the VK52se, the vk32se and the vk 32. I trust (although I'm not sure) that their current models will be able to be upgraded to the new. As far as I can tell, these preamps will allow you to select the amount of "tubiness" by customizing the input stages to your desired sound preferences. The Rex is a 2 chassis design featuring 18(!) tubes. I'd like to find out if my vk51se can be updated - and at what cost? I'll keep you aware.
