I've only had two 6SN7 based preamplifiers in my system, one from Cary and one from Rogue. Both were sub $2k units and both had great midrange tone but were rolled off at either end of the frequency range and were muddy sounding. I've heard much better preamplifiers in that price range using small signal tubes of various types. I also heard more expensive 6SN7 units from these manufacturers in friends' showroom that were better but didn't really impress me. This all was several years ago however.
This doesn't mean, of course, that a better designed, probably more expensive 6SN7 unit would have these drawbacks. In particular, I'd like to hear Rogue's 99 Super Magnum pre that my friend Paul Mah owns and reviewed in Stereo Times.
