Hi all - long time.
I'm keeping my DAC for the time being because I love it's output stage into my tube amp. It's got a remote and alnalog volume control so I figured why sell it!?
However, my new DSD, while good at direct to amp, has a digital volume control, so I am getting interested in searching out a nice balanced tube preamp, possibly with headamp, and remote control.
I have been eyeballing Leben CS300 but SE and no remote.And that would mean selling my current SE EL34 tube amp which I reallylike, and should hang on to.
Any thoughts?

thanks. Now I am looking at the Khozmo attenuators, and other passives. Or autoformers so I can run balanced to SE.For Sale 2019:
