RE: Which tube pre to keep? SP10, Audible Illusions3 or Magus

yeasaen, hi. Keep? Do you have them in your posession at this time? The SP-10 is notoriously hard on tubes. Do you have an unlimited re-tubing budget? It will require lots of money to keep it running at peak performance. The AI3 minus what at least one dedicated individual can do to improve it (Wheezer on the AA) is also brutal on tubes. If AI you should communicate with him. That leaves the Magus. I haven't heard any horror stories regarding the Magus lately but then haven't done any deep digging on the subject either. Quite frankly I have come to despise gear that operates tubes at punishing levels. Why burn up irreplaceable tube stocks in machines designed to end their lives as quickly as possible.
