    I bought it used. It has a brimar rectifier tube that came with it. It’s marked made in England. I replaced the other 12at7’s with a matched set of nos rca black plates with halo getters. Whatever that means. I don’t know squat about tubes😂yet. The dared is really great sounding! I love the tube sound. I’m always down with suggestions and advice! A lot of knowledge on this site!

    The Dared SL2000A is the preamp that got me into tubes.

    I love it.

    So much so that I snagged one for sale here, after I regretted selling mine on here YEARS ago.

    It now lives in my work room and sees pretty regular use.

    I've read that telefunken 12AT7's sound fantastic! But I've also read that new production genelex gold lions have a huge sound stage as well. I would welcome any and all tube rolling suggestions!

    Currently running:
    Psvane Summit 6SN7
    Telefunken E88CC-TK
    Mullard GZ34 rectifier

    Depending on my mood I'll switch between the 6SN7 & E88's

    Also have Northern Electric 6SN7's that I'll roll in. I'm liking the Summits better but the Northern Electric are no slouches! 2tmu26jh3uv1.jpg

    A so called science type proudly says... "I do realize that I would fool myself all the time, about listening conclusions and many other observations, if I did listen before buying. That’s why I don’t, I bought all of my current gear based on technical parameters alone, such as specs and measurements."

    More amazing Internet Science Pink Panther wisdom..."My DAC has since been upgraded from Mark Levinson to Topping."
